INCONTINENT WORDPLAY(Part B): CANADIAN ANAGRAMS, Eh?

POST #120

CREATIVE CARTOGRAPHY and PARODY-LYRICS, 

ORIGINAL SONG: "I've Been Everywhere", by Lucky Starr, covered by Hank Snow, Johnny Cash, Stompin' Tom Connors etc. Please also note take-offs of this song posted here as earlier blog-posts. 

PARODY COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, February 2016.
WORDPLAY LINK: An explanation of the derivation of the anagrammatic place-names, and extensive lists are found at "Giorgio's Weekly Wordplay" post #32.

KEYWORDS: goldenoldy, wordplay

Explanatory Notes: 
The verses of this song consist of anagrams of the word P-A-L-I-N-D-R-O-M-E-S, place-names with 2-letter postal abbreviations, e.g. April Dome NS and Pliers Dam ON. To increase the representation of Canadian provinces, a "B" was borrowed to be added for placenames in the provinces of AB (Alberta), NB (New Brunswick) and MB (Manitoba); this lets us include well-known locales like Snail Doper MB in the song. Unfortunately, the provinces of Quebec, Saskatchewan and British Columbia opted out of the arrangement.

Please see the previous post on this blog for the related but very different American lyrics. 
Incidentally, PALINDROMES and ANAGRAMS are somewhat related types of wordplay dealing with the rescrambling of letters in words or phrases. If you need to review the topic, check out the links provided.  

Incontinent Wordplay: I'VE GOT ANAGRAMS, Eh? 

(to the tune of "I've Been Everywhere")
                                                                                          
Note that underlined lyrics are anagrams (word-scrambles) of the word "A-N-A-G-R-A-M-S)

I was sitting at my desk with “The Joy of Lex” composing PALINDROMES;

When along came a thought, where sometimes seems nobody’s home

If you’re gonna write some wordplay, go with what you understand

Cause you start off every morning, Jumble puzzle in your hand.

There’s no doubt that I can go both ways in handling ANAGRAMS,

But first I’d need return a message, I was told that A ‘SAM’ RANG.

Uncle Sam
