Lui Collins has recently been adding another       verse of her own, in which Aunt Matilda (Uncle Walter's wife) is a bit peeved       that Uncle Walter goes dancing with out her. She then dons a bear-skin coat       and slips out with        the crowd. The verse slips for a short interval into 'Waltzing Matilda', and       then reverts to the usual.       >        > I can't reproduce the lyrics here, but may be able to in a week or so.       >        > J.B.              Here's how she did it at the Me & Thee Coffeehouse's 20th anniversary concert:              Well my Aunt Matilda was mad as could be.       She said "Walter, that rat!, never waltzes with me!"       So she took her fur coat and remodeled it so.       Now she can go waltzing, and Walter won't know!              She goes wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-waltzing with bears.       Raggy bears, shaggy bears, baggy bears too.       And there' nothing on earth Aunt Matilde won't do       so she can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa-waltzing       she can go waltzing go              Waltzing Matilde, waltzing Matilde              She can go waltzing, go waltzing with bears!               :0)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
