Iam looking for a song the lyrics for which goes something like this

She's a backward child
She's a forward child
Backward as can be
.......
The only thing she knows is that one and one make love
.... (and it goes on)

I am not able to search for it on the internet as well.
So please if anybody has any info on this song like the band or singer or the album please help me find it.

Tough one. I find only one reference to this tune on the net: Apparently it's from India, 1950s. Here's all I could find:

What type of music is it?

[kcmcldel]

Hey Atul,

This has been my favourite No for many years. Heard it on All India Radio in the late 80's.

Can not find any where now.

Any luck let me know.

[kcmcldel]

Very rare number. Probably extinct

[agrawalsudha]

I think it starts with

I have a girl friend but she's kindav slow

She is a backward child...

Used to sing it in the early 60s

[Sahiv]

Artist - bill forbes

Bill Forbes

[Sanjays]

Hi,

Im sanjay, This has been one of my fav,
It goes something like this

Backward child is a backward child, backward as can be

Backward child is a forward child
Forward as can be ,
Examinations she can never pass
But when it comes to kissing
She is the head of her class
Backward child is a backward child, backward as can be


Unfortunately that all I remember ,in case any body gets is mail me on

Great song, one of my favorites.

Here's the lyrics to Bill Forbes' "Backward Child" issued on Columbia UK 1959:

BACKWARD CHILD Bill Forbes – Columbia 1959

I’ve got a girl friend and she’s kind of slow
Could write a book on all she doesn’t know
Examinations she can never pass
But when it comes to kissing she the head of the class

Chorus
She’s a backward child, pretty backward child
Backward as can be
But my backward child is a forward child
When she’s making love to me

Her education’s elementary
I’m not complaining, it don’t bother me
We’re going to marry though she’s not too smart
And have a dozen backward kids, so bless here heart

Repeat Chorus

We had a date tonight and so ideal
Went for a drive and when she took the wheel
She drove one-handed and I’m still alive
Little did I know she never learned to drive

Repeat Chorus

The words in italics I have never been able to figure out - my best guess. Enjoy!

Hi Sidharth,

This has been my favourite song too. I finally managed to track a good audio version on the You Tube (Link below).

YouTube - Bill Forbes - Backward Child

The lyrics quoted by tdsouza743 is quite accurate but the stanzas are a bit mixed up and I think he has missed one

This as my favorite song too when I was about 16 years old in India. Several answers below tell you that it's on Youtube. I found a very nice audio on Youtube with a film clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uViuasU7URI. Check it out.
