Guitar: The Ladies Of The Harem Of The Court Of King Caractacus

Last night for no real reason, I recalled this somewhat silly but amusing song which I had heard Rolf Harris sing many years ago on one of his many TV shows. I actually met him briefly in an Indian Restaurant in Douglas one summer season when he was performing here. Anyway, I decided that I would try to play it and upload my effort today. I always like these accumulative songs. Caratacus; Latin Caractacus, was an historical British chieftain of the Catuvellauni tribe, who led the British resistance to the Roman conquest. As to whether he had a harem or not, it seems to me to be unlikely, but it just makes this campfire song more interesting.
