2 Would you like your bitties rubbed? Or with bristly brushes scrubbed?
Before producing milk by the bucket-o? Mackie’s coos just chomp all day
On whisky-flavoured hay.
Lucky beasts! They lead the life of Riley-o.
Chorus
3 Next we got embroiled
In the black black North Sea Oil.
Pam was a WELL of information-o
She took us round the city
But omitting little Footdee (pronounced Fitty) While telling well-oiled stories by the barrel-o.
4 By bonnie Ythanside To Fyvie we did ride
To see the cursed castle with the ghosties-o.
Where first sons always die,
And the dwarf goes in a pie
While the starving wife is scratching at the windae-o.
Chorus
5 We’ve had 5 star tourist guides And plenty more besides
Tae lead us roon’ by Buchan And the Bullers-o.
A Spanish haggis ode –
A lively sicht, by Goad!
(Malcolm Milne & Pam Wells)
But never did we visit a stone circle-o
6 I never did intend
A lighthouse keeper for tae be,
The life they led was not a bunch of roses-o. Wi’ far too much to lose
If you had a glass of booze.
It’s simply not an option for a tour guide-o.
Chorus
7 We’ve visited Braemar Seen Byron’s Lochinvar,
Driven down through the snows of Glenshee-ee-o. But now we’re homeward bound,
Lots of useful facts we’ve found
To inflict upon the unsuspecting tourists-o
The Blue Badge Carol had many updates. Morag believes this is the original.
