Diz Yer Maw Drink Wine

Remember those songs we used to sing and the rhymes we used to recite back in the days of our childhood? I don't mean the ones taught to us by our parents or even our teachers. I'm talking about the ones that teachers and even parents would never acknowledge. Songs and rhymes about private parts, bodily functions and even, when we were slightly older, about sex, what little we knew of it.

None of these songs would see the light of day in polite society and were hidden from teachers and weren't sung at home if your parents had visitors. Some of them might seem rather tame, but we'd have been beaten black and blue by parents or teachers if they heard us. No wonder hardly anybody remembers them!
