I hope someone is still reading this forum. All the dates seem to be over a year old. Anyway, here's my problem:

I attended a Celtic festival in Williamsburg several years ago, and the featured entertainer was the great Alex Beaton. Among many traditional songs,he did one that was so hilarious I nearly died laughing. I don't know if he made up the words or not, but I can't find anyone who ever heard of it. It is sung to the tune of "Oh, dear, what can the matter be?" Here are the words I can remember:

Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
Seven old ladies were stuck in the lavat'ry.
They were in there from Sunday til Saturday,
And nobody knew they were there!

(Six verses missing- each verse dealing with a separate lady) The last verse is:

The last little old lady was limber Miss Mason.
The toilets were full so she used the basin.
That was the water that I washed my face in
Because I didn't know she'd been there!

Does anyone know this song? If you can E-mail me the words, I would be eternally grateful.

P.S. I only have an internet receiver routed through my TV set. I can't print or save or cut and paste. So, I would need it all typed out in an E-mail so I can copy it down. (Sorry about that.)

Can anyone help?
