This is for my genealogy and family history chums. As well as composing limericks about naughty vicars and similar role models of society, I also sometimes write song parodies and other verses. This one is from my (self-published) book called Rhyming Relations: Genealogy In Verse (1999, out of print) and I called it Lets Family Tree. As you will gather, it is aimed at family historians and is a parody of the famous, if somewhat risque, song by the great Cole Porter entitled Lets Do It. One should hum the tune to oneself when reading it..... LETS FAMILY TREE Boys do it Girls do it Dukes and geriatric earls do it Lets do it Lets family tree The old do it The young do it Yeaoman farmers in cow dung do it Lets do it Lets family tree Snobs do it Prigs do it High court judges in their wigs do it Lets do it Lets family tree Whites do it Blacks do it Computer nerds in anoraks do it Lets do it Lets family tree Office workers in their break do it Some do it in the park Bosses on the make do it With their favourite clerk Uncles do it Aunties do it Saucy showgirls in their scanties do it Lets do it Lets family tree Siblings do it Cousins do it Blue-stockinged ladies by the dozens do it Lets do it Lets family tree The fit do it The lame do it Soho strippers on the game do it Lets do it Lets family tree The rich do it The poor do it Yorkshire folks on Ilka Moor do it Lets do it Lets family tree Genealogists in great troops do it Some do it on the phone Some in family groups do it But most do it alone Eskimos do it Pygmy tribes do it Tired and inebriated scribes do it Lets do it LETS FAMILY TREE!
