Seven Old Ladies Locked in a Lavatory

[@emarald13]

I've been looking for this song for years! My mum used to sing this to me when I was a little girl and I thought it was hilarious lol

[@Northernfire]

Joan Morrissey . the first person I had heard do this song . late great Newfoundland entertainer . thank you for the post !

[@nyliram4]

Had an album called "Bawdy Songs" back in the sixties and this song was on it. Nostalgic!!

[@ssn594]

got a copy of that somewhere

[@laurenb6451]

Back in the day in the outdoor club we used to sing this but we had other old ladies with different situations. Went looking for it to refresh my memory. I just thought of it when I was babysitting my 2 month old grandson and he was crying. When I sang it he got quiet and seemed to be paying attention. 😉. Also, I saw Oscar Brand in concerts pretty often and the clay model really catches what I remember him looking like. Great job!

Lonesome Pine BlueGrass Band and friends sang this to great laughter at the bluegrass jam at Riderwood in Silver Spring Maryland Thursday 5/9. i thought they wrote it! that's the joy of oral music folk tales, isn't it??

[@traxonwax]

Kate Deaton I always thought this was a Newfie tune. Well the version I was used to anyway. I guess Newfoundland, Ireland, England, Wales, Appalachia are all from the same thing when you go back far enough.

[@ClaiireCollins]

I absolutely adore this song seriously :D

[@2313136754]

I sang this song at Mangan's Irish Hut in Mount Clemens, MI back in the mid-70's! I could never remember all the words, only the chorus part.

[@thegeezerdan]

When i was younger i dont remember this version of this song i only remember the johnny so long at the fair one but i do like this one.

Oscar Brand, born in 1920 and nowin his late 80's, is one of the all time greats, along with Pete Seeger. Oscar the Grouch was named after this humorous Canadian when he worked on Sesame Street in the early 1970's. Francis J. O'Reilly

[@CHascoat]

SO glad to find this. Genius.

[@haircole]

n the mid 1970s with friends we wood go to a Irish bar in Detroit an drink while listening to Charley Tarlor...great memory for me...

[@joebarloggio5161]

Great job of animation. I love it :)

[@yanki161]

Brings back fond memories of Timmy and Timmy at Southgate Tavern, Highland Falls, NY circa 1978. Good ol' days.

[@johnlloyd2390]

Very funny. My dad used to sing a song like that, but he stopped at three old ladies. The claymation made the song that much better.

[@sydneybranch5676]

So hilarious, just loved this

[@funnyangel07]

love this wee old song

Laura Tyrie I bet you're Scottish. !!!!

[@vanessaburrows2543]

This bought back memories of my dad singing this to me

[@healingandgrowth-infp4677]

Aww same here I miss him n this song always comes up in my head

[@vanessaburrows2543]

@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 mine too I hear it and dad is there singing it

[@healingandgrowth-infp4677]

@@vanessaburrows2543 I’ve heard his laugh so he most likely is singing in visitation

Great job Lawrence! Hope you got an A+.

[@ronan8757]

I love this song!

[@raybanks9481]

I so remember from my parents on holiday in Leysdown

[@lukefaught]

Love it!

[@arnobirkigt4660]

Really appreciate the artful presentaton

[@musicmandon1]

Even better than the arrangement Dr. Demento played back in the day. Why more Oscar Brand isn't on CD is a mystery to me. He belongs there as much as anybody else. so what if he's naughty? There's a place for that in this world.

[@ClaiireCollins]

I LOVE this

[@kevinjokipii4260]

The next old lady was Old Mrs Dorsett She passed out cold from trying to force it The flush handle got tangled up in her corset Nobody knew she was there.....

[@katybrennan8222]

When I was a kid, a friend of mine had a record of this song but it was 13 ladies not 7. My friend's mom heard us listening to it and got mad. The later part of the song got quite dirty as I remember.

[@jazzcatt]

I wish I could find the one you heard as a kid!

[@leicafool]

i have the whole album on vinyl, this tune comes from oscars album "bawdy songs and backroom ballads"

[@david.tlrave3559]

I tried to find in Google search a song that goes there was an olde Lady of 93 that wanted to go to t Lavatory. No results by many android phones have that as a ringtone.

[@artbrown2762]

Sang this at McGuire s in Pensacola Florida

[@davidrichardsonusher]

I am 99.9% sure that this is Oscar Brand singing. He is the Pete Seeger of Canada.

[@ssn594]

it is indeed oscar brand

[@djahren]

I'm an artist and animator myself. Commenting is naturally a way of giving feedback. I wasn't saying that it was a bad piece of art, quite on the contrary.

[@gra690]

The next old lady was dear Mrs Mason The stalls were all full so she pissed in the basin And that was the water the vicar washed his face in and nobody knew they were there.

[@djahren]

I was giving constructive feedback, I said it could use more frames that's all. The rest is all positive. I think it was a good job and the characters and set was very well built! So props, it is a good video.

[@caralama08]

Lovely 😊 but always thought it was from Monday to Saturday tho?🤔

[@boatracer39]

@sprigmom Oscar Brand !

[@kimfaulkner6088]

fun!

[@djahren]

The animation is a bit jerky, you could use quite a bit more frames but other than that the character and set design is quite stellar. The song of course is hilarious. Props.

[@eire1984]

i got stuck in the lavatory today lol

[@blytheau2]

back in the days of yore when Billy Connolly was a musician, as opposed to a comedian he sang this on a folk album.

[@lynnfox3730]

Makes me think of Gumby and Pokey.

[@joetheshyguy410]

the version i heard was british and was only one poor old lady

[@tomrolandtube]

That voice has to be Pete Seeger.

[@djahren]

Umm what??

[@fahooga]

The next lady in was old Mrs Flynn Who prided herself on being so thin, But when she sat down, the poor dear fell in, And nobody knew she was there. The next lady in was old Mrs Brewster. She doesn't see as well as she useter. When she sat down somebody goosed her And nobody knew she was there.

[@stevej32]

I was really lock in the lav when viewing an empty house to buy my partner though it was funny. But I couldn't see the joke, I had to clime out of the window.

[@1812jacko]

Ooowkaay

[@andrewdensmore4019]
