[78-L] Dirty songs--was: Re: Introduction (a bit long)

[Bart]

No Benny Bell's are different, on the Alcibiadean theme of vandalizing 
statuary in Central Park.  I posted the entire lyric night before last 
so you may have already found it.  But thanks for the verse below.  It's 
another variation of the text stream began by William O. Douglas and 
Thurman if Douglas' story is to be believed.  But I hadn't come across 
that precise verse before.  Something very similar was recorded on 78rpm 
by Oscar Brand in 1950.
