"Rothesay-O" lyrics
One new year's eve in Glasgow town
When all we had was half a crown
A bunch of us thought we'd prowl around
And find some fun in Rothesay-O
We wandered down Victoria Street
We didn't care much for snow or sleet
Half past 2 with aching feet
We found ourselves in Rothesay-O
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
A dithum a doo a dad a no
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
The night we went to Rothsay-O
Awh Seán McKenna is a dirty lout (I am not)
He said he'd treat us all to a pint of stout (I said no such thing)
So as quick as we could we all went out
To a public house in Rothesay-O
Said I, "Me lads I'd like to sing"
And said I, "You'll ne'r do a fuckin' thing"
Well, I said, "Clear the room and we'll make a ring and I'll fight ye all in Rothesay-O
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
A dithum a doo a dad a no
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
The night we went to Rothsay-O
Awh we had to find a place to sleep
And we were all too drunk to even creep
But we found a place that was smelly and cheap
A boarding house in Rothesay-O
Well, we all lay down to take our ease
When one of us happened for to sneeze (Atchoo)
And he wakened half a million fleas in a single room in Rothesay-O
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
A dithum a doo a dad a no
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
The night we went to Rothsay-O
Oh, there were several different types of pest
A few of them jumped inside me vest (Ahhhh!)
They grabbed on me hairs and they made their nest
And they cried "Hurrah for Rothesay-O!"
Say's I I think I'll head for home
And we swore we never more would roam
And we're scratching still as we sing this poem on the night we went to Rothesay-O
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
A dithum a doo a dad a no
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
The night we went to Rothsay-O
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
A dithum a doo a dad a no
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
The night we went to Rothsay-O
When all we had was half a crown
A bunch of us thought we'd prowl around
And find some fun in Rothesay-O
We wandered down Victoria Street
We didn't care much for snow or sleet
Half past 2 with aching feet
We found ourselves in Rothesay-O
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
A dithum a doo a dad a no
A dithum a doo a dum a dee
The night we went to Rothsay-O
Awh Seán McKenna is a dirty lout (I am not)
He said he'd treat us all to a pint of stout (I said no such thing)
So as quick as we could we all went out
