Have you got a transcript of the lyrics? A couple of phrases are hard to pick up. It is absolutely brilliant, a product of a bygone age and deliciously, slightly, politically incorrect. What a genius. many thanks for posting it!

[gavdoff]

Sorry but I dont, though im sure if you google it youll find some :)

Just fantastic as I am Half Venetian and live in Venice a few months of the year, really have to listen to the words its great well done. P.S. There are a few gay gondliers even the only one lady gondoliera and she is a lesbian, called Alx. Great song I burnt it for her and she couldnt stop laughting. Yours ah Count Roberto

no probs, had to add this for the reasons you stated, the lyrics are brilliantly arranged and composed as almost all works by flanders n swann, glad its put a smile on more faces :)

[AndrewDCG]

That was great fun! It really shows of Michael Flanders' voice to very great effect. Thank you for putting that one up.

[gavdoff]

No probs, just had to upload these four, glad u like the high quality sound, shame youtube have kai boshed all possabilities of me uploading anymore to this standard :(

[TrevsMum]

But it's Ian Wallace singing, I think?

[AndrewDCG]

I need my eyes testing...you are right TrevsMum. It does say that on the record label, although Donald Swann was still playing the piano.

[TrevsMum]

Good tho, innit?

:)

[gavdoff]

Sure is :)

[gavdoff]

yeah your right its Ian Wallace singing with Donald Swann on piano but despite that it was written by Flanders n Swann

[Tyley61]
