[BITList] 'She became very found of ska music': The secrets of the Queen Mother's record collection from a yodelling Canadian cowboy to Paul Simon | Mail Online

[HUGH]

John,

The QM had other tastes in music not often associated with elderly royals.  I once heard (or read) on good authority that she used to sing to the young Charles and Anne the kind of ribald song sometimes sung up here. No doubt it was a relic of her childhood at Glamis. One song she is said to have sung to them went as follows :

My aunty Mary
Had a canary
Up the leg of her drawers.
It didn't come doon
Till the month of June,
And it made a big hole in her drawers.

Hugh.
