    1. [THEATRE-UK] Old songs

    3. Hi, Good try Florence....but you got the wrong Row, Row, Row. The one I'm referring to is the one that goes - And then he'd row, row, row way up the river (it then goes on to tell about them hugging and kissing) The songs I listed were all considered a little risqué in their day (around the 1920's if I remember correctly) "The last time I saw Henry" was about a flashy type character, Henry (obviously!!) stealing his friend's girlfriend. Some of the lyrics to "Minnie the Mermaid" are 'Oh what a time I had with Minnie the Mermaid down at the bottom of the sea' There's also quite a bit of hugging and kissing in that one too.

    1. [THEATRE-UK] Marriott Edgar / Stanley Holloway / Cyril Fletcher Monologues
    2. Blanche Charles
    3. Hello Dave & Theatre Listers Last evening one of my former orchestral colleagues e-mailed us with the words of one of Marriott Edgar's monologues - recalled from his youth. He wanted to check them, so I did a meta-search, using www.dogpile.com and came up with this site - http://www.btinternet.com/~p.wilkinson2000/index2.html If anybody's interested in these old monologues, follow the links - the words are all there! Enjoy!! Blanche Charles Wellington, NZ
