lyrics

Cod Liver Oil and the Orange Juice Ron Clark & Carl McDougall

Well oot o' the East there cam a hard man
Oh-ho, a' the way frae Brigton
Ah-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Went intae a pub and he cam oot paralytic
Oh-ho, VP and cider
Ah-ha, what a hell of a mixture
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

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

In the dancin' he met Hairy Mary,
Oh-ho, the flooer o' the Gorbals
Ah-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Aw noo Mary, are ye dancin'?
"Oh no, it's just the way I'm staunin'"
Ah-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Well then, Mary, yer one in a million,
"Oh-ho, so's yer chances!"
Ah-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Well then Mary, can I run ye hame?
Oh-ho, I've got a pair of sandshoes,
"Ah ha-ha, ye're hell of a funny!"
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Well, doon through the back-close, an' intae the dunny,
Oh-ho, it wasnae fur the first time,
Ah-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Then oot came her mammy - she was goin' tae the cludgie,
Oh-ho, I buggered off sharpish,
Ah-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Noo Hairy Mary's lookin' for her hard man,
Oh-ho, he's jined the Foreign Legion
Ah-ha, Sahara unner ra camels,
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Then Hairy Mary's had a little baby
Oh-ho, it’s faither's in the army
Ah-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice
