Royal marries Jenny

Post by harry hackedoff »

One of the perks of me other day job is that I get to see all of the RMA and RNA bulletins for Oz and NZ and this ditty just landed on me desk.
Although from way before my time, it still rings a few bells :roll:
As it is sung to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean"(a famous Scottish lament) I thought it was only fair to dedicate this to our own Tommy Gunn and his loverly bride, wee Flo 8)
All together now :wink:
Jenny Wren Bride

(Tune of "My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean)

I've just come away from the wedding, Oh Lord I could laugh till I Cried
I'll never forget the relations I met When I married my Jenny Wren bride.

Chorus
Married, married, I married my Jenny Wren bri-i-de, married married, I married my Jenny Wren bride.

Her father he works in the dockyard, Her brother owns the Marine’s store
And as for their habits, well talk about rabbits, They've got half the dockyard ashore.

I asked her old man for a dowry, He gave me a can of soft soap,
A bundle of waste and some polishing paste And fifty six fathoms of rope

The present we got from her brother, Was fifty six yards of blue jean
Her cousin the Crusher, he sent us note paper, Six packets of Service Latrine

Her family hung flags in the churchyard, And they painted the hallway with flatting
When out stepped the Bride they all piped the side, And she tripped on the coconut matting

Her petticoat was made out of Hessian, Her knickers were made of green baize
While for her suspenders, she’d a motor boat’s fenders and two Pussers gaiters for stays.

Now, most of the church congregation Was made up of Wrens on the dole
While in the back pew was the six inch guns crew And half of the standing patrol

The parson got up in the pulpit, He said, "'Who gives this woman away?"
Then a bloke from the HOOD whispered: "Blimey, I could But let every dog have its day."

Well now, I'm just off on me honeymoon, I don't know what happens tonight,
But I've spoke to a few who declare that they do, And they swear that she's a bit of alright.
There`s lovely 8)

Why not have the 'boys' run around after your every whim? Make it themed cruise, you can be Cleo on her barge and they can feed you and pamper you... might be a tad nippy for a Toga still!

And therefore my aim in the next forty minutes is to teach you the difference between swampers, dumpers and grand slammers so that you may perform your duty as Bedding Storemen, all the more efficiently. 8)
