What is the popular tease song?
In the “tease song,” also known on the renaissance faire circuit as “clean songs,” the meter and rhyme-scheme convince you that you’re about to hear something dirty…but then you don’t.
The Clean Song by Oscar Brand is probably the most famous example that I know of. Where, if there was
a sea captain looking through a glass, he spied a fair mermaid with scales on an island. Where are they? Where do seagulls fly over their nest? She combbed the hair which hung over her shoulders. Her eyes itch when she plays in her bed. The sailor cried out "There's a beautiful mermaid." I
want to come up with a solution.

"In the year 1900, two people came to pick two flowers. This was also about two flowers." "Some people say that there is more traditional practice of plucking flowers in India after the 1870s." "Is it true that people are known to do the needful and not to hide it?" "If you consider it correct that they do it less often today than they did in the first half of the 1900s, and before 1870." "I don’t think we have a significant enough amount of Indian English text from these periods of time to make much difference to Google Ngrama’s numbers."
