Note that correct line "As anyone can see", NOT "As anyone here can see". Will should know what's right. He wrote the song! It's astonishing though how often the word HERE is incorrectly inserted into the lyric!
I'm not sure why you're making this comment on this video - the video doesn't show any lyrics, though I do think that "as anyone here can see" is easier to sing than "as any one can see". Try it, the next time you're in the shower. You have missed a howler, though, at the beginning of the video. The quote should read 'Isn't that all the better for you".
@spekkyguy Thank you spekkguy. Firstly "Isn't that all the better &c". I will grant you that although few know of that quote and with those missing words it doesn't scan well. "Anyone can see" I find easy to sing either in or out of the shower. Ease of singing even if applicable is no excuse for singing an incorrect lyric. Will Fyffe didn't do it so neither should we. As you can tell I am a bit of a pedant and I enjoy it immensely!
It made me laugh. The monologue could almost be one of Rab C Nesbitt's!
