| Song Lyrics: |
I'd like now to sing a song about Scottish Highland
national dress..Wellington boots. Did you think it was the kilt?
Edinburgh's the only place you see kilts, really. Teuchters
wear wellies. And the welly is a great, great form of
clothing. It used to be the great mark of poverty in Partick:
Wellies in the summer. Found out! Poor! Poor!
And when yer lyin' on the beach in Spain tryin' to let on
you're a millionaire wi' a four bob cigar and a seven bob bottle
of champagne. Yer found oot to be workin' class 'cause ya
got welly marks on your legs. Two rings of No Confidence.
(chorus:)
Eff it was nae for yer wellies, where would you be?
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
Eff ye did nae have yer feet in yer wellies!
Oh, wellies, they are wonderful, wellies they are swell
Cos they keep oot the water, and they keep in the smell
An' when yer sittin' in a room, you can always tell
When some bugger takes aff his wellies
(chorus)
But when yer oot walkin', in the country way about
An' yer strollin' over fields, just like a fairmer's herd
And somebody shouts "Keep aff the grass!"
An' you think "How absurd."..
An' SQUELLCH! ya find why fairmers a' wear wellies
(chorus)
There' fishermen an' firemen, there's farmers an a'
Men oot diggin' ditches, and workin' in the snow
This country it would grind tae a halt, and no' a thing would grow
if it was nae for the workers in their wellies
(chorus)
Noo Edward Heath and Wilson, they have nae made a hit
They're ruinin' this country, mair than just a bit
If they keep on the way they're goin', we'll all be in the s**t
So ya be'er get yer feet in yer wellies!
(chorus) (Stavro Arrgolus) |
