    See, this is where they're at their best, with an appreciative audience that doesn't take _four_ bloody verses to catch on(!), like in the first version I saw of this masterpiece of a song. I so wish I had found this one first. This lot is on it from the first mention of "leg"!

      @@Flipdrivel You know, normally I would agree, but that's the potential pitfall risk these two take with the "keep-going-longer-than-expected-because-it's-funny" antic that they tend to use. So in this case I think I'll have to side with the audience, the point where they started clapping is where the song _should_ have ended ;)

    There was a little woman
    And she had no house or home
    So she found herself a forest
    A new pasture for her to roam
    She was a lady
    A lady in the woods
    God gave her the woods
    But he took away her legs
    Some people mistook her for a stump
    But she was definitely a lady
    A legless lady in the woods
    When you’re living in the woods
    There’s a lack of luxury
    She didn’t have scissors couldn’t cut her hair
    It grew so long it got tangled with the weeds on the trees
    She was a longhaired, legless lady in the woods
    She had nowhere to be
    So she always took her time
    She took so much time
    If you were to describe her with a word
    You might say she did lollygag
    She was a lollygagging, longhaired, legless lady in the woods
    A lollygagging, longhaired, legless, lady in the woods
    God took so much from the lady
    But in turn, gave her a tree
    A lemon tree
    And she sucked those lemons every day
    Which made the rubberiness of her lips go away
    Her lips were so loose but she loved those lemons
    She was a lemon-loving, loose-lipped, lollygagging, longhaired, legless
    Lady in the woods
    And did we mention that her name was Linda?
    Linda the lemon-loving, loose-lipped, lollygagging, longhaired, legless
    Lady in the woods
    An unhappy woman was she
    She had no treats or toys
    But if you told her a dick joke
    It would bring her so much joy
    So low brow
    Low brow Linda
    She had no other company
    So she talked to the trees
    She didn’t choose words just a whooshing sounds
    And the trees knew what she means
    Yeah she could talk tree
    She was Linda the bilingual, lowbrow, lemon-loving, loose-lipped, lollygagging, longhaired legless, lady in the woods
    And she produced milk like you’ve never seen
    She was Linda the lactating, bilingual, lowbrow, lemon-loving, loose-lipped, lollygagging, longhaired legless, lady in the woods
    Ahh mmm
    All those forest nights alone
    Can wreak havoc on a woman’s libido
    So she found herself a lizard love
    And that lit up Linda’s heart
    But that lizard found another lizard
    And that lying little lizard left her
    She was Linda the lusty, lizard-kissing, lonely, lactating, bilingual, lowbrow, lemon-loving, loose-lipped, lollygagging, longhaired legless, lady in the woods
    There’s more
    A wizard of a woman was Linda
    She was the master of the lute
    And she did write songs
    She loved writing song
    Lugubrious songs
    She wrote this song
    And she’d warble these songs into the wind
    In the hopes that someday someone would find them
    And luckily for Linda they fell in our ears
    So we sing to you her lachrymatory lyrics
    To continue her legacy
    Her legacy, her legacy
    She also loved liquorice
    She was Linda the liquorice-eating, legendary, lyrical, lugubrious, lachrymatory, lusty, lizard-kissing, lonely, lactating, bilingual, lowbrow, lemon-loving, loose-lipped, lollygagging, longhaired legless, lady in the woods
    Yeah Linda was a lot
