Mrs. O'Malley, out in the valley
had an aversion to washing her ears
Grandma scrubbed them with her lye soap
now she hasn't heard a word in years!

Oh, let us sing for Grandma's lye soap
It's the finest in the land
the pots and pans, the dirty dishes
and then the hands...and then the face.
(or something pretty similar)


Gilliland told us that the name Johnie Stanley/Standley was a pseudonym but no 
one (to his knowledge) had ever found out who the actual artist was.  Supposed 
to be a celebity of the time.

Anyways, I KNEW you'd come through.  Tanks much QRM!!!
