"I must, I must, I must increase my bust" (1970)

[Baker, John]

        Nah, we depended on the girls.  Doubtless it would have been different if the penis were a muscle and became larger when exercised.  Then we would have had something to sing about.

This is all very interesting, and it's great to have the material for
comparative textual analysis.  But what I'm wondering is what we
*boys* were singing in *our* locker room at the same time.  For the
life of me, I can't recall.   Much less whether it worked.
