THE WELLY BOOT SONG
(McEwen)
Chorus:
Wellies they are wonderful, oh wellies they are swell,
Cause they keep oot the watter, an' they keep in the smell,
An' when yer sittin in a room, you can always tell,
When some bugger takes aff his wellies.
If it wasna for your wellies where wid you be?
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary,
Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pluracy,
If you didna hiv yer feet in your wellies!
But when yer oot walking, in the country way about
An yer strolling over fields just like a fairmer's herd.
And somebody shouts Keep aff the grass, and you think How absurd;
And, squelch, you find why fairmers a' wear wellies.
There's fishermen and firemen, there's farmers an a',
Men oot digging ditches an' working in the snaw;
This country it would grind tae a halt and no' a thing would graw
If it wasna for the workers in their wellies.
Noo Edward Heath and Wilson, they havna made a hit,
They're ruining this country, mair than just a bit,
If they keep on the way they are goin', we'll all be in the sh..,
So you'd be'er ge(t) yer feet in yer wellies.
This was written in the 70's...hence the out of date politicians...lol
