Clementine (From New Orleans)
Here comes Miss Clementine,
That baby from New Orleans;
She's only seventeen,
But what a queen, oh, my!
She has those flashing eyes,
The kind that can hypnotize;
And when she rolls 'em, pal,
Just kiss your gal good-bye.
And oh, oh, oh, when she starts dancing,
She plays a mean castanet;
You won't forget, I mean!
Down in that Creole town
Are wonderful gals around,
But none like Clementine from New Orleans.
Patter:
You talk about Tabasco mamas,
Lulu Belles and other charmers;
She's the baby that made the farmers
Raise a lot of cane.
She vamped a guy named old Bill Bailey,
In the dark she kissed him gaily;
Then he threw down his ukulele
And he prayed for rain.
Chorus 2:
Look out for Clementine,
That baby from New Orleans;
You've heard of pepper pot,
This baby's hot, oh, my!
She has two yearning lips,
Her kisses are burning pips;
They make the fellows shout,
Then lay right down and die.
Her dancing movements have improvements,
She plays a mean tambourine,
Out where the grass is green;
I've seen Asbestos dames
Who set the whole town in flames,
But none like Clementine from New Orleans.

Title:What's The Weather?
sung to the tune of "Clementine"
What's the weather?
What's the weather?
What's the weather like today?
Tell us (child's name),
What's the weather?
What's the weather like today?
Is it sunny? (hold arms above head in a circle]
Is it cloudy? [cover eyes with hands]
Is it rainy out today?[flutter fingers downward]
Is it snowy?[wrap arms around body and shiver]
Is it windy? ["blow children over" with a swoop of your arms]
What's the weather like today?

The periodic insanity of the king of France, Charles VI, and the
rivalry of the royal dukes, resulted in France alternating
between a policy of allegiance to the Clementines, and a
position of neutrality until the Schism should be resolved.
On Clement VII's death in 1394, there were French moves to delay
the conclave; but it went ahead, electing the Aragonese cardinal
Peter de Luna as Benedict XIII - and the man thought best
equipped to bring the Schism to an end.
Benedict XIII now declared himself in favour of the way of
Convention - a meeting between the two Papal claimants and their
cardinals, to arrange a solution for the good of the Church. The
French court, however, favoured the way of Cession (mutual
abdication), and won over most of Benedict's cardinals. Just as
France was about to declare itself neutral in the Schism,
Urbanist England's King Richard II sought and obtained a
Clementine dispensation to marry a French child princess.
Personal and political considerations no doubt played their
parts in people's decisions, but there were careful enquiries
carried out on behalf of some of the rulers who came to support
the Clementine claims; and the opinions of subsequently
canonised saints were divided. Most famously, the Dominican
tertiary St Catherine of Sienna was a passionate Urbanist, but
the Dominican priest, St Vincent Ferrer, was for many years an
enormously influential supporter of the Clementines. When St
Vincent eventually withdrew his recognition from Benedict XIII,
it was certainly not to transfer it to the Urbanists; but rather,
apparently, to become a sedevacantist. For him, Benedict was at
that stage pertinaciously dividing the Church and so was a
schismatic. Accordingly, for the Dominican miracle worker, it
was for the General Council at Constance to resolve the Schism.
The Clementines present more problems. Benedict XIII is
undoubtedly the most attractive of the Papal claimants during
the Great Schism. However, if he is allowed to be a true Pope,
how are Martin V and all his successors to be recognised?
