I love this song for so many reasons, but primarily because it exemplifies how needless vulgarity and explicit sexuality are in comedy. This song is hilarious and it's most powerful comic element is simply "suggestion". The rest is left up to the audience's imagination. Brilliant!
I know Im randomly asking but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Thatcher Sage Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

I have loved this song from the moment I heard it, only thing I lament is not being able to see their facial expressions as there seems to be a fair bit of performing involved in the humor at least for this one song
Rikki Fulton, who did this song, was hilarious, much funnier than Monty Python. "Are ye dancing" practically makes me wet myself, and I don't even understand some of what he says. The Corries, however, made this song even funnier than Rikki Fulton. They had an impeccable sense of timing in comedy.
I love listening to them banter with the audience and each other! What exactly does Ronnie say at 4:17? I can't quite catch it all ("______ like you should have given that kind of thing up long ago! My wife did. That's not funny when I come to think of it!)
I absolutely love the corries. My favorite band hands down. Greetings from America, lads.
scottish folk is really a music that's deep in my heart... and the Corries are really the GODFATHERS ♥ R.I.P. Roy.... we'll never forget!
Adorable. They were all kinds of fun together. Wish I'd known of them back then.
i first heard this with my wee uncle and he passed so good to find them on here
Great song - saw them singing it live many moons ago.
Thank you for all the wonderful songs and a healthy dose of Scottish wit ^_^
Hahahaha class!! I must thank my uncle for introducing me to this and The Corries :)
Brilliant. Have not heard for years. Still so funny.
just listened to it on the bus trip back from Loch Ness!
"Put your false teeth back in!" xD
Now that's entertainment, at it's best!
I haven't heard this for many many years thanks for posting.

agree
This song is actually about me. Unfortunately I can confirm it is my nose they sing of.

@jacquiejamieson You're right - according to the sleeve on my Corries CD, Rikki Fulton wrote it.
LYRICS: On the 17th of March in La de da de da
A son was born to Mrs Da De Dum
He had two arms, two legs, a mouth and ears and eyes
And the usual La de da de da de dum
They duly christened him La de da de da
And they gave his second name as Da de dum
And throughout his life, and he lived for 90 years
He was known as La de da de da de dum
Then as he grew up his la de da de da
Grew quicker than his other da de dum
And when he was fifteen, everyone remarked
On his great big La de da de da de dum
He met a girl in La de da de da
She was pretty though a little da de dum
And the reason that he loved her best was she
Didnae mind his La de da de da de dum
Her mother was awfully la de da de da
Her father was completely da de dum
And they sat down to dinner of salmon mayonnaise
And a bowl of La de da de da de dum
Now it all went well till La de da de da
He went to take a bite of da de dum
He coped his plate and the salmon mayonnaise
Fell upon his la de da de dum
Her mother cried loudly la de da de da
Her father sorta mumbled da de dum
And her mother said, "Dear you must try to find a boy
With a smaller la de da de da de dum"
But they married in the spring of la de da de da
They honeymooned in lovely la de dum
But they found they couldnae get in the double bed
For his great big la de da de da de dum
And so they decided la de da de da
To use two single beds for da de dum
They slept together and they used the other one
Just to rest his la de da de da de dum
On the 19th of June in la de da de da
He took ill with an attack of da de dum
So they wrapped him up in bandages
That ended with a ball roond his la de da de dum
He died on the morning of la de da de da
A victim of the dreaded da de dum
They put him in his coffin but they couldnae shut the lid
For his great big la de da de dum
Now the undertaker la de da de da
Decided on a plan for da de dum
He made another coffin roughly 3 x 2 x 1
Just to take his la de da de da de dum
Now you can read on his tombstone la de da de da
The son of la de da de dum
Here lies his body and in the next grave up but one
Lies his great big la de da de da de dum

@cowgirlmagic18
The words are,
'At your time o' life'
Rikki Fulton, who did this song, was hilarious, much funnier than Monty Python. "Are ye dancing" practically makes me wet myself, and I don't even understand some of what he says. The Corries, however, made this song even funnier than Rikki Fulton. They had an impeccable sense of timing in comedy.
The world would be so much better today if The Corries were still around. Folk songs all tell a story.
WOW!!!
perfect x
I saw francie + josie do this live as well.
bubbleboy02 Rikki Fulton wrote the song and it was performed by Francie and Josie
Me too ,Pavilion Glasgow omg that was around 50 years ago
Does anyone know who wrote this tune? Love it. It leaves a lot to the imagination that's for sure.
Susan Morse Rikki Fulton wrote it.
I'm trying to write some funny songs, this is brilliant and will motivate me to keep going, but I doubt if I can get anywhere near this.
I saw you live in Wales, and you're pretty damn good yourself.
@@NallDave forget to switch accounts?
It's credited to Rikki Fulton on sleeve.
I loved Edinburgh, even if I lived near the Hearts ground ,from a Fenian, slan lat ,good song though.
LOL brill !!!!
Still awesome 😇🤣

the bit u missing is "at your time of life"
cowgirl magic 18 He says, " You ought to be ashamed of yourself".
