A Long Time Ago (B) [98-99] (89-90)

A B-side B-version. The customary verses of this variant on the halyard chantey "A Long Time Ago" have a Limerick-like flavor. We jumped off those to some topical ones, some on the chanteyman's razor keen observations, then 'round the room to tell everyone's story, both on and off camera -- none were spared!

A word of explanation:

oi

More words:
The genteel and urbane space did not permit us to pin our balls to the walls and hoarsen our throats, so you have the parlour and the settee along with the salt and sand...and the rum was not the preferred brand. sitting-room shanties, the nueva ola

@chicoetereo yeah, I know! shyness (I roped them in) combined with sleepy-tipsyness...but mainly an overrding fear of the thin walls, the lateness, and the neighbours!
