Off the cuff

Despite the enormous quantity of books,
how few read! And if one reads profitably,
one would realise how much stupid stuff
the vulgar herd is content to swallow every day.

In an underground Garrett not far from Dundee
Just to be different I fell up a tree
This Winter, last summer, the year before last
A man with a hammer sat breaking his fast

Tra la la, tra la lee, who wid yi, who wid yi like to be me?

One day I went walking with my brother Jim
When somebody threw a tomato at him
Tomatoes are juicy and don't break the skin
But the big one that hit him was inside a tin

Tra la la etc.



Hello Claire,
Thanks so much for posting this wee song. I was doing an internet search for a song my Grandpa used to sing and it's very close to the song in your post. Perhaps a Glasgow version...

In an underground garrett up three flights for stairs,
Next door to the man who grows apples and pears,
Dwelt a pretty young maiden wi’ teeth like a rose,
Who couldnae stop sneezin’ fur corns in her nose.
Hod yer row, hod yer row,
Now hoo wid ye, hoo wid ye like tae be me?

(this is purely from memory so the words may not be 100% accurate)

This story I tell you is true
One day, she went out on her wheelchair
Never knowin' it had a loose screw
Well a wheel came off of that wheelchair, friends
And on three wheels it trundled away
And it trundled right over the edge of a cliff
In an old sea-side town, far away

Sing, a-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh

Now the boy who was pushin the wheelchair
Was a little blind orphan called Joe
And he said "Oh where is my granny?"
"And where did that damn wheelchair go?"
Well he ran off to search for that wheelchair, friends
But his sightless eyes led him astray
And he ran right over the edge of the cliff
In that old sea-side town, far away

Sing, a-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh

Well somebody sent for a doctor
And an ambulance too, it was called
And the people who lived in the neighbourhood
Stood around and they cried, how they bawled
Well the doctor and the ambulance came rushing, friends
They were rushing from two different ways
And they crashed with a biff, and shot over the cliff
In that old sea-side town, far away

Sing, a-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh

Well they sent for brave father Maloney
To prey for the poor soles they pose
And he said "Well now that we're gathered here good people"
"Well we might as well pray I suppose!"
But, too many people had gathered
And the edge of the cliff gave way
And they dropped with a yell
They all shot straight to hell
In that old, sea-side town, so terribly far away

Sing, a-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh

Lol :pmsl:


:kinell: Prey haha,,, or should it read ''Prey on the poor''?


It should be pray and souls. I copied and pasted it and by the time I saw the spelling mistakes I was too late to edit. :mrgreen:


I'm pleased you didn't edit it Claire, as it made me chuckle. And according to Big Yin, its ''Praying for the poor'', as I highlighted in bold. But, I think 'my' version is more accurate :wink:

But,,, what this does prove,, if nothing else,, is that someone actually read you post in full.

Curs'd be the man, the poorest wretch in life,
The crouching vassal to a tyrant wife!
Who has no will but by her high permission,
Who has not sixpence but in her possession;
Who must to her, his dear friend's secrets tell,
Who dreads a curtain lecture worse than hell.
Were such the wife had fallen to my part,
I'd break her spirit or I'd break her heart;
I'd charm her with the magic of a switch,
I'd kiss her maids, and kick the perverse bitch.
