Rothesay-O

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Charles Hendy] 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 [Verse 2 - Charles Hendy] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3 - Charles Hendy & Seán McKenna] 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 [Verse 4 - Charles Hendy & Andrew Hendy] 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 [Chorus] A dithum a doo a dum a dee A dithum a doo a dad a no A dithum a doo a dum a dee Thе night we went to Rothsay-O [Verse 5 - Charles Hendy] Awh we had to find a placе 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 [Verse 6 - Andrew Hendy & Seán McKenna] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 7 - Andrew Hendy & Seán McKenna] 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!" [Verse 8 - Charles Hendy] 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 [Chorus] 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
