But don't monkeys prefer bananas? Snakes hiss and spit, LOL.

"One day in the canyon, no pant on her quim,
A rattlesnake saw her and flung himself in.
Charlotte the Harlot gave cowboys the frights;
The only vagina that rattles and bites."

(American folk song)

No, HP; you've got to work on your North Americanish things. Oscar Levant was a Borscht-Belt comedian. Oscar Brand was a folksinger. He was from Winnipeg and fell afoul of the US Congress's House Un-American Activities Committee. Blacklisted as a communist sympathizer, he helped himself make a living by performing and recording all the dirty songs in a series entitled "Bawdy Songs and Backroom Ballads." "Charlotte the Harlot" is included on one of his albums.

That information could account for why I've never been able to find some of these ballads on you tube.
I recall one: "Here I am sittin'
and rockin' a cradle,
mindin' a baby that's none of my own."
