Its the Chicken-Hutt Strut, music by beachboys

Post by Guest » Sat Jun 25, 2005 8:32 pm

If everybody heads to the ocean
Across at Arisiag.
Then everybody’d be Struttin’
Like in californi-a
You’d seem ’em wearing their feathers
Yellow legs too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Struttin’ Arisiag.

You’d catch ’em struttin’ most anywhere
Killantringan and Berneray
Meller Udrigle and Durness
Uist’s Tobha Mor
All over the North West
And down Machrihanish bay

Everybody’s gone Struttin’
Struttin’ Arisiag.

We’ve all planning that party
We’re gonna take real soon
We’re waxing our raincoats
We can’t wait for 24th June
We’ll all be gone for the weekend
We’re on beach all day
Tell all researchers we’re Stuttin’
Struttin’ Arisiag.

Rooster and Aylesbury Dux
Rhode , Anabel A,
Bridget Bantam too
the Chicken-Hutt posse
Are lookin’ for you
At Arisaig bay

Everybody’s gone Struttin’
Struttin’ Arisiag.

Everybody’s gone Struttin’
Struttin’ Arisiag.

Everybody’s gone Struttin’
Struttin’ Arisiag.

LOOKING FOR MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER

His name is Robert Lindsay
Fae St Monans - that's in Fife
Ah fun his maw an da
Ah even fun his wife

Awe his weans and grand weans
Ah've added tae ma tree
His brothers and his sisters
And their weans - my goodness me

Ah know he wis a hawker
Selt fish fae door tae door
Later he weaved baskets
When he couldnae hawk no more

So whit's yer problem ah hear yis say
Ye've plenty info there
Aye yer right, got mair than maist
but ah'm tearin oot ma hair

See efter 1881
He vanishes withoot trace
Spent a fortune on SP
And registered in outer space

So if anybiddy sees an auld man
He'll be 182 years auld
Ask him if he comes fae Fife
And tae ring me if he can

Cheers everybiddy - yer assistance wid be much appreciatit.

By the way has anyone seen Moonwatcher - or is he hiding behind wan eh em chickens?

Luvin the pairty - thanks Mesklin et al for organising it
