If It Was’nae For Your Wellies

Lyrics

[Spoken] Now you see, a lot of people don't understand the desperate importance of Wellington boots in Scottish culture. So this is designed to teach them a wee bit [Chorus] If it wisnae for yer wellies, where would ye be? You'd be in the hospital or infirmary 'Cause you would have a dose o' the flu or even pleurisy If ye didnae have yer feet in yer wellies [Spoken] That's the chorus. I want you to sing it with gusto. I want you to leap into it in a mood of gay abandon, gasping on the floor, paroxysms of mirth, clutching your middle, saying "Oh Jesus Christ, he's a gas", right into that microphone, 'cause these people in London don't believe it! [Verse 1] Oh, wellies they are wonderful, oh, wellies they are swell 'Cause they keep oot the water and they keep in the smell And when you're sitting in a room, you can surely tell When some bugger takes off his wellies [Chorus] If it wisnae for yer wellies, where would ye be? You'd be in the hospital or infirmary 'Cause you would have a dose o' the flu or even pleurisy If ye didnae have yer feet in yer wellies [Spoken] That was wonderful. Bonus! Great, innit? [Verse 2] When you're oot walking in the country with a bird And your strolling over the fields just like a farmer's herd And somebody shouts "Keep off the grass", and you think "how absurd" Squelch! You find why all farmers all wear wellies [Chorus] If it wisnae for yer wellies, where would ye be? You'd be in the hospital or infirmary 'Cause you would have a dose o' the flu or even pleurisy If ye didnae have yer feet in yer wellies [Spoken] See that [???], see that? Here's a serious verse [Verse 3] Fishermen and firemen, there's farmers and all There's men oot digging ditches and working in the snow This country would grind tae a halt and no' a thing would grow If it wisnae for the workers in their wellies [Chorus] If it wisnae for yer wellies, where would ye be? You'd be in the hospital or infirmary 'Cause you would have a dose o' the flu or even pleurisy If ye didnae have yer feet in yer wellies If it wisnae for yer wellies, where would ye be? You'd be in the hospital or infirmary 'Cause you would have a dose o' the flu or even pleurisy If ye didnae have yer feet in yer wellies
