Passion and Romance

A tale of youthful love which in the absence of privacy led to a knee trembler on my garden wall.

Immortalised in song by the great Hamish Imlach

Oot o' the East there came a hard man
Oh oh, a' the way frae Brigton
Ah haw, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Does this bus go tae the Dennistoun Palais?
Oh ho, I'm lookin' for a lumber
Ah haw, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

He went intae a pub, cam oot paralytic
Oh oh, Lanliq and cider
Ah haw, what a helluva mixture
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

In the dancin' he met Hairy Mary
Oh oh, the floo'er o' the Gorbals
Ah haw, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Oh Mary, are ye dancin'
Naw, naw, it's jist the way ah'm stannin'
Ah haw, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Oh Mary, yer wan in a million
Oh oh, so's yer chances
Ah haw, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Oh Mary, can ah run ye hame
Oh oh, ah got a pair o' sandshoes
Ah haw, yer helluva funny
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Through the back close, intae the donny
It wasnae for the first time
Ah haw, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Oot cam her mammy, she's goin' tae the cludgie
Oh oh, ah buggered off sharpish
Ah haw, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Hairy Mary's looking for her hard man
Oh oh, he's jined the Foreign Legion
Ah haw, Sahara and a camel
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Hairy Mary had a little baby
Oh oh, its faither's in the army
Ah haw, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice
