Preface
Why? Well, why not?
Actually, this Songbook was inspired by the seemingly
endless series of bus trips at Americas InterHash1993
in Calgary only made bearable by the exuberant
traveling songfests. As new songs are constantly
introduced the existing record consequently becomes
quickly dated. This is but the latest attempt to
bring the recorded word up to date with the
contemporary verbal standard.
Preface
to the English Language Edition
It may seem somewhat
redundant to include a “Preface to the English
Language Edition” in a book that was compiled in
the English language in the first place and has not
even been translated into any other language.
However, this is as good a place as any to explain
that several people submitted foreign language songs
for this collection, some with English translations.
None are included because this editor understands no
foreign language and besides the English translations
invariably fail to rhyme.
Foreword
“Know
thyself,” said Romeo to Portia and he might have
added, “Know thy audience.” Perhaps the
most important decision the editor of a scholarly
work must make is: For whom is this book intended? Is
it for fellow dirty song scholars, musicians in
general, or for that broad, undifferentiated unwashed
mass known as “hashers?” This is not an
easy question, so I'm forced by necessity to leave it
unanswered.
Editor's
Lament
I don't know why I
bothered to write all these words, few if any will
read this. They'll instead bypass this section and go
straight to Father Abraham to see if there are any
dirty verses for it yet. Well there's none that I
know of. Too bad.

Acknowledgments
A project of this
scope could not be realized without the aid of many
people, or rather it could, but it would be dumb to
do it that way when there are so many people around
willing to help. It is impossible to thank by name
every single person who assisted, and many married
people must also remain anonymous, but it would be a
crying shame if I didn't mention those to whom I am
most deeply indebted, no matter how tedious the list
may become.
