The Tattooed Lady
We came to town to see that old tattooed lady.
She was a sight to see, tattooed from head to knee.
My uncle Ned was there. He came to gape and stare.
"I've never!" he declared, "Seen such a freak so fair."
And on her jaw was the Royal Flying Corp
and on her back was the Union Jack, now could you ask for more?
All up and down her spine marched the Queen's own guards in line
and all around her hips sailed a fleet of battleships.

And over her left kidney was a bird's eye view of Sidney
but what we liked best was upon her chest

Google search also refers to Meat and The Old Grey Whistle Test
and it brings up THIS site and links to the saved Meat chat pages.. if you want to check that.

Bren is right. If you've got issue 23 (July, 2001) of the Rear View Mirror you can find a version of Tattooed Lady in there. They are not the same lyrics that Meat sings, but it was the only version I had at the time, (and I honestly couldn't remember what Meat sang, only hearing him do it at break-neck speed the once in concert!). It's an old troop song from I believe World War II. There are apparently many versions of the song and some are very much ruder than others! :lol:

Diane - you are so right it's been making me blush :oops: some of the versions I've pulled up whilst trying to find info :oops:

Yeah it's an old song that is so old even my nan sings it!!
Meat did it a coupla times on the 99 tour. Someone shouted it out at one of the gigs and Meat got right in and started singing it. Think he played it more than once but not sure where...all the concerts roll into one after a while!!

A massive thank you and lots of kisses to all of you who posted above with info. regarding Tattoo Lady.

Thank you, Thank you.

I've heard that Meat has sung this at some concerts, but does anyone know where it comes from or who wrote it? And what is the significance of it for Meat? Has he explained why he performs it (other than it just being a fun song or whatever)?
