1. She was a big fat woman, oh yeh, with big fat legs

2. Maybe it's because - I'm

an incomer...

naaah... lost interest in this.

enjoyed several of the suggested lines above - not a clue who most were, though.

(and probably preferred the poetry of sailing 'hardships' to the correct version. Remember yon bint singing about: 'It's a hard egg, nothing but a hard egg'?)

Heard Nick Mason and others on the radio yesterday morning and you could hear the 'understanding' falling into one guy's head, when he realised that one of the lines in the enigmatic Pink Floyd songs he'd heard as a youth was NOT:

'Ducks and Chasms in the classroom,

Teacher! Leave them kids alone!'

Quackers, eh?

1. She was a big fat woman, oh yeh, with big fat legs .... Is it "Fat Chicks in Spandex" by Sudden Death

2. Maybe it's because - I'm a Lahndaner...

Sorry, but the Sidster spotted Sue Lawley altho' you do tend to skip his posts

In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria... Sting - Russians and Americans

How about this one?

Young teacher the subject of schoolgirl fantasy ...

Bud: I used to sing it in the 60s.

Thought it was John Lee Hooker or Leadbetter... but cannae find it on my 'albums' (that dates me, eh?) and hoped sumbuddy on here might have a clue...

Just been hunting on Google with no success, but came up with

This 'interesting' web page which can put you onto similarly 'weird' lyrics...

I could be diverted for days... :)

Ching,

big fat woman - Obviously not the song I was thinking about.

Try this site about a blues singer with an interesting background :whistle

Lucille Bogan

Regarding her physical features, by her own admission she was “a big fat woman with the meat shakin’ on my bones†- â€Struttin’ My Stuffâ€

In those days blues singers used to customise the lyrics for songs - so it might be a version of the above song, but then again......

No 5- too easy GLC

Not an opening line but one of my favourite lines is...

But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size of a small country...

National Express of course. :lol:

On the poetic front we should go for

"The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face"- again not an opening line.

I could post the opening line of Late Ian Dury's "Plaistow Patricia", but it might get me barred. :lol::lol:

If you don't know it, it's here.

Ian Dury was responsible for some of the smartest lyrics ever.

One of my favourites is from This Is What We Find,

Home improvement expert Harold Hill of Harold Hill

Of Do-It-Yourself dexterity, and double glazing skill

Came home to find another gentleman's kippers in the grill

So he sanded off his winkle with his Black and Decker drill

When I passed you in the doorway, well you took me with a glance.....

Mother told me, yes she told me i'd meet girls like you....
