Billy Connolly - The Welly Boot Song lyrics

Wellies they are wonderful, oh wellies they are swell Cause they keep out the water, and they keep in the smell And when you're sitting in a room, you can always tell When some bugger takes off his wellies If it wasnae for your wellies, where would you be? You'd be in the hospital or infirmary Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pluracy If you didnae have your feet in your wellies! But when yer oot walking, in the country way about An yer strolling over fields just like a fairmer's herd And somebody shouts “Keep aff the gra**,” and you think “How absurd;” And, squelch, you find why fairmers a' wear wellies There's fishermen and firemen, there's farmers an a' Men oot digging ditches an' working in the snaw; This country it would grind tae a halt and no' a thing would graw If it wasna for the workers in their wellies Noo Edward Heath and Wilson, they havna made a hit They're ruining this country, mair than just a bit If they keep on the way they are goin', we'll all be in the sh.., So you'd be'er get your feet in your wellies
