DavidS wrote Jody cadence calls just don't work without the obscenities. I well remember the calls that began with lines such as, "I got a girl who lives on the hill," and "I don't know but I been told." Don't ask me about the ones you could call in front of your mother, though. The cleanest one I remember is, "Birdie-birdie in the sky/drop some whitewash in my eye./I'm a Marine and I won't cry,/I'm just glad that cows don't fly."

"I don't know but I've been told / Eskimo pussy is mighty cold."  C'mon, Davey, spit it out!
