nice pic!
Does anyone else find that the first thing springing to mind is Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett dressed as Morris Dancers?!

In case of a "no" answer, I'll either explain, or die of embarrassment and never be seen on GOY again.

well, it was one of their star-turns. A duet with them both in full bells and sticks Morris gear, and a kind of oompah band in background, use yr imaginations..
In each verse of the ditty there was one silly joke that got repeated 5 times, so this one went
"pour cow, pour cow, pour cow, pour cow, pour cowslip wine into your cup" as far as i remember.
Another was "so doff, so doff, so doff, so doff, so doff your cap and sing"...
We laughed until we stopped!

I bet it's on youtube if you search a bit.

Lovely photo. I'm afraid that I didn't remember the sketch until Weeding reminded me. The first thing that sprung to mind for me was "SPRING"

Lovely picture, makes me think of spring.
Reminded me that in England we lived next door to a man who was a Parisiteologist (sp.?) and also a Morris dancer! He was the one with the pig's bladder.
