This was one of the songs that was sung last night.

Now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

All together, now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

Now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

Now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

All together, now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

Now the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

[Repeat 4 times]

Now the fascinating witches who put the scintilating stiches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

[Repeat 4 times]

Now if you want to take some pictures of the fascinating witches who put the scintilating stiches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus...

...you're too late! Because they've just... passed... by!

I've never heard this song before. Apparently (and also unsurprisingly) it started out life as a Boy Scout camp-fire song. While there wasn't a hope in hell's name that I could have spoken this, let alone sang it last night, it certainly made me chuckle and it surprises me that I've not heard it before.

I think a good healthy dose of some illegal stimulants would be required in order to sing that song without error!
