about

I once had the pleasure of seeing Hamish Imlach perform this in person. It was a gig in the Pittentrail Inn, Rogart. My Uncle and I left the show around 11pm. When I was picked up for work at 5am the next morning my boss (who had come straight from the gig) said it was still going strong.

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
