The Laird Of Inversnecky Lyrics - Momus

"I think I'd rather sleep with her with no clothes on than you in your best suit" 

I said to my dummy at the Winter Gardens, Rothesay, Isle of Bute 

While the manager, praying for rain, watched the £50 grey clouds 

Rolling in 

Knowing if it rained we'd get the crowds 

Knowing if it rained we'd get the crowds 

Born in Greenock, 'the Tall Drole' was known to all 

Worked in the mines and the mills but ended up in music hall 

Maidie played the accordion, she was 'the Small Doll' 

We could bring the hoose doon, nae bother at a'! 

It all seems like yesterday, though you weren't alive 

The Panopticon, the Trongate, Glasgow 1935 

In the name of the wee man, here comes Funny Clive 

God, it made you glad to be alive

It's the Laird of Inversnecky here, aye you ken me weil 

With ma cast of characters frae places that are nearly real 

Cold today! Aye! That's why we're by the seaside 

Everybody come 

To the Aberdeen Beach Pavilion 

Every single night is fun! 

I began as the panto tea boy, became the canny Scot 

Like a chimney sweep on a ladder to very top 

Synonymous for many with my famous character 

The Reverend I.M. Jolly, the morose minister 

The character comedians that you may see today 

Where'd they get their talent for remarkable mimicry? 

It's plain to see, it came from me, I saw them scribbling away 

They all laughed like crazy at my "hoity-toity ladies" 

"The flag at the castle is half mast high 

Let's all go down to Mackie's for a wee cup of tea"

It's the Laird of Inversnecky here, back to make you greet 

The Portobello pierrots, they cannae compete 

At the Aberdeen Beach Pavilion, sixteen bloody years we've run 

And every single night of it's been fun! 

Every single bloody night's been fun!
