Susan Johns of Austin, Texas, to Cray, 6/22/96, on "Ball" in Renaissance Fair circles: Roll Your Leg Over If all the young ladies were little white rabbits I'd be a hare and I'd teach 'em bad habits |-------------------------------------------| CHORUS -| Roll your leg over, roll your leg over | | Roll your leg over the man in the moon | |-------------------------------------------| If all the young ladies were bricks in a pile I'd be a mason and lay them in style If all the young laddies were cocks in the hay I'd be a hen and I'd have a good lay If all the young ladies were bats in a steeple And I were a bat there'd be more bats than people If all the young ladies were bells in a tower And I were a clapper I'd bang every hour If all the young laddies were fine silks and laces And I were an iron I'd sit on their faces If all the young ladies were doors of stout wood And I were a knocker I'd bang 'em up good If all the young ladies were stones in a mill And I were some grain, between them I'd spill If all the young laddies were coconuts sweet I'd suck out their juices and chew on their meat If all the young ladies were winds of the sea I'd be a sail and I'd let them blow me ( continued next page ) Page 135 SONG Roll Your Leg Over ( continued ) If all the young ladies were birds in their nests I'd be an egg and lie under their breasts If all the young laddies were merry go rounds I'd mount up and we'd go up and down If all the young ladies were locks on a gate I'd be a key and insert and rotate If all the young ladies were pure as they say All the young men would be happy and gay If all the young laddies were big wooden stairs They'd go up mine and I'd go down theirs If all the young ladies were bottles of brew I'd pop their tops with my built in corkscrew If all the young laddies were bottles of beer I'd give good head and they'd be of good cheer If all the young ladies were sweet fruits and berries I'd munch on melons and nibble on cherries If all the young ladies were singing this song (--Sorry, the last line is missing.
