The Evil Shirttail

(with apologies to Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein, and the entire vonTrapp family)

High on a hill climbed an evil shirttail
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Cruel was the role of this evil shirttail
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Broads all around saw the evil shirttail
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear was their "it's not fair!" wail
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay
O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay

Hard stared the Broads to see through the shirttail
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
They hoped and they prayed for the end of that trail
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

They blew and they blew to whip up a gale
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
They tried to lift it up to see hill and dale
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

The prince on the chair was a clever male
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
He tugged at the shirt so it hid his rail
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay
O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay

One little Broad had a plan not to fail
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
"If you won't let me see it can I read it in Braille?"
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Soon her Mama eyed that full-blown sail
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
She shuddered and moaned and said something about "nail"
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Odl lay ee (odl lay ee)
Odl lay hee hee (odl lay hee hee)
Odl lay ee ...
Odl lay odl lay odl lay

But that's not the end of this yodeler's tale
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
There's only so much of that evil shirttail
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Happy are we, lay dee o lay dee lie
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo
At least that dang shirt cannot cover those THIGHS!!!!
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Odl lay ee, old lay ee
Odl lay hee hee, odl lay ee
Odl lay odl lay, odl lay odl lee, odl lay odl lee
Odl lay odl lay odl lay

HOO!

PPS: Not since the Elle pictures wreaked death and orga--....destruction among the Broads has a picture had this kind of effect. We hope that someone is still alive to read this page.
