Try to keep a stiff upper lip
And don't get upset at the works of a pip
Who's abandoned our Nell
To ring his own bell
We'll allow this time it's a slip.

Frank skulked off into the night

Frank skulked off into the night
Feeling mad and rather uptight
Where he was headed?
P'raps to get bedded?
Whatever would put him to rights.

Our gal Nell, on the other hand
Was out trying to find her band

Sorry about that, Spendius. Actually I thought it was you who had abandoned the Nell epic & were waxing poetic when you wrote:

A thousand apologies. I shall try to attend more closely, although sometimes I get distracted in my new quest to remain seemly.

Our gal Nell, on the other hand
Was out trying to find her band
Called "Menage A Trois"
Which played Omaha,
A grunge gig mixed with some Dixieland.

Her band name was Cake-Walkin' Nell

Her band name was Cake-Walkin' Nell
They toured with the Stones for a spell.
Yet playing Sumatra
With Frank Sinatra
Earned kudos, but didn't sell well.

Deciding to go it solo,
Nell gave her girlband the heave-ho.
It seems the last straw
Was when our Nell saw
RuthAnn's lipstick on her oboe.

Nell then played the Holiday Inn,
'Twas not a bad place to begin,
But Nell was enraged
When she was upstaged
By Ruth's new girlband called "Chagrin."

Tempers flared in the powder room
So Nell deployed a new broom
Ruth's band was disbanded
The stage was re-sanded
And sprayed with Nell's own perfume.

The cheers from the crowd resounded
Nell's foot on the boards hard pounded
Frank sat at the back
All on his jack

Nell's foot on the boards hard pounded
Frank sat at the back
All on his jack
When Ruth had Nell's oboe impounded.

It was done "for the public's sake"

It was done "for the public's sake"
Cos the thing looked too like a snake
Which had been the intention
Of our Nell's invention

Which had been the intention
Of our Nell's invention
And its loss made her loins sorely ache.

Nell felt lost when she could not blow

Nell felt lost when she could not blow
Nor suck till her sweet lips were sore

Uh-oh. Unseemliness is rearing its ugly head ...

Uh ... Spendius ... Blow & Sore? Laughing

Nell felt lost when she could not blow
Nor suck till her sweet lips were sore
For it was her mission
To be a musician

Nell felt lost when she could not blow
Nor suck till her sweet lips were sore
For it was her mission
To be a musician
And play on the harmonicore

Now these are the fellows for me

Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee
Now these are the fellows for me
You suit yourself
There's room on the shelf
I'll have our Nell's alchemy.

Now Nell had invested in gold
With a wink in a bank she'd been told
Now it's in the 550s
She's feeling the nifties
And the wink has been thanked though he's old.

So she went on a big ocean liner
On a cruise with the posh and the finer

So she went on a big ocean liner
On a cruise with the posh and the finer
She figgured that sailing
Is great if you're paling
And she tanned up just like a coal miner

With her skin just as brown as a nut

With her skin just as brown as a nut
She went for a stroll with her mutt

With her skin just as brown as a nut
She went for a stroll with her mutt
She ran into a friend
Who wanted to spend
His last dime on her cute little butt.

There was a huge commotion
Upon the Atlantic Ocean
To avoid the horde
She jumped overboard
And thought, What a silly notion!

For she was freezing, that's for sure

For she was freezing, that's for sure
And a right mess was her coiffure
When somebody said
"Hey-Nell's not dead"
The crew dived in to rescue her.

She was landed after some strife
And then given the kiss of life
Her toes did a wiggle
And her hips a jiggle
And the Captain said "She'll be my wife".

Now our Nell is not all that simple
In spite of her sweet little dimple
"Hold on a bit
Don't be a tit
I'm too young yet for a wimple."

So they took her below to dry her
In front of the engine room fire

So they took her below to dry her
In front of the engine room fire
She winked and she leered
At the engineer
And the captain lost his desire.

Oy, the Captain left in a huff
He'd certainly had enough
He stalked the decks
and rubbed his neck
And wished he hadn't been so bluff.

Nell and the engineer flirted
As the room became deserted
