Good adaptation of that old Scottish song 'The Work O' The Weavers' - 1856 (Shaw) - later adapted by Billy Connolly 'If it wisnae fir yer wellies (the Welly boot song). Then adapted a few years later by the very funny Fred Dagg...just sayin' ('cos I see a lot of Kiwis & Aussies arguing over it). Sorted.
If you’d like to see another vid on kiwiana, then watch WORLD WONDER FROM DOWN UNDER World Wonder From Down Under - A bloody good Piwi the Kiwi video by Deanius DaGenius.

There was a CD + DVD that came out a couple of years back I think it may have sold out though, check your local book store or CD store they might know where to get it.
fred dagg you nutter anyone seen the country calendar with him on it out on his farm and hes got all his kids and there all named trevor AHAHAHAHA and then theres young trev AHAHAHAHA .....get in behind!!!!
In about 1974 Billy adapted the Scottish folk song "The Wark o' the Weavers" into "The Welly Boot Song" which John Clarke then reworked in 1976 into "The Gumboot Song" for his alter-ego Fred Dagg.
No, I'm basing it on the recording date on an old LP of his. But if you're not satisfied I'm sure I could find out when he first started playing it as part of his act.

you're a muppet. I'd kick you in the guts, Trev, but that'd be like bowling an underarm delivery with one ball left and 6 runs to win... I'll hoist my Tui to the thought of you never breeding your idiocy into our population
Jack1Cantalupo8, where do you live in Italy? I am also a Kiwi living in Italy, near Viterbo (just north of Rome). I show this song to my advanced students :-) They love it!
Haha, thank god for this song, my m8s just did it today in the school talent quest, but changed the muldoon lyrics to suit helen clark and john key, bloody classic!!
Still brings a smile to me even after thirty years. By the way for all those who don't know Muldoon was PM at the time and Rowlings was Opposition Leader. Watched Fred Dagg as a child.
From Wikipedia search Wellington boot: In 1976, satirist John Clarke's alter ego Fred Dagg reworked Billy Connolly's Welly Boot song as "If it weren't for your Gumboots", and created a hit.
Contraversally Billy Connely released a version of this called "If it waern't Fah yah Wellies". from Wikipedia:'Among his best known musical performances were "The Welly Boot Song", a comical ode to the working class which became his theme song for several years'; Which was first? The origins of this song and melody come from a song from the Cotton mills of England "if it weren't for your Weavers", True!
