LOST SONGS: The Dinghy Song, Ruth Wallis

Yes kids, this is the darn song you found in dad's bottom dresser drawer.

On a party album. Taboo? How quaint.

Record stores would reach under the counter if Adults asked for the Dingy Song, Johnny's Got a Yo-Yo, The Admiral's Daughter, Knockers Up or Pull Down the Shade, Marie.

Ruth Wallis worked the naughty song turf. Rusty Warren, Belle Barth, Sophie Tucker, Mae West, Moms Mabley all had success with under-the-counter hits.

A dinghy, lest there be any doubt among  Facebook and social media vigilantes, was a small boat.

Why adults would fall about the kitchen chairs laughing at parties, is still a mystery. 

All the tunes mentioned above, are on YouTube.

But no links here. Think of the children, you pervert....
