[PW] Re: ?Silly Song "Alice" -- Need Sheet Music?

[NancyJo]

Well...I can sing it to you :)  There is more to the song, too, and the part
you are missing has a familiar melody, namely Stars and Stripes Forever (I
think. Sometimes I get Sousa marches mixed up).

After ...glub, glub, glub, it goes:

(Spoken) Now the sewer is located approximated one and one half miles from
Jones Junior High
(in a burst of song to a Sousa march):
 Oh I am loyal to Jones Junior High
It's the best Junior high in Toledo.
For Jones Junior High I would die.
(abrupt ending of song, as singer stabs him/her self.

Hello,

Happy to have found this reincarnation of the old Stumpers group through a
tip from John Dyson.

Here is my question:  I have a patron who is looking for the music to an old
silly song he once learned.  The song, entitled Alice, and apparently often
taught to children at camps and the like, has the following lyrics:

Alice, where are you going?
"Upstairs, to take a bath."
Alice, with legs like toothpicks
and a neck. Like. A. Giraffe-raffe-raffe-raffe.

Alice gets in the bathtub;
Alice pulls out the plug --
OH MY GRACIOUS, OH MY SOUL!
THERE GOES ALICE DOWN THE HOLE!
Glub, glub, glub, glub, glub.

Can anyone provide us with the music for this little song, or direct us to a
link at which we may hear it sung? Contact information, including fax no.
and e-mail address are below.  I've had no trouble finding the lyrics, but
no luck pinning down the sheet music or a sound file for it.

Thanks for your help.
