Fat, purple nose, red complection, lives in a barren freezing cold place with only animals for company, and likes a drink....... Sounds about right....
This is one of my favourite Christmas songs of all time along with Stop the Cavalry by Jona Lewie. I haven't heard this since I was 5 (8 years) and I still know all the words. What does that tell you?
@noo2000 Yes! It's Christmas Time in Scotland And my kids said to me "Just one question Daddy before I go to sleep. "How will Santa find me?" So I said "Where ever he may roam, Santa will find you because he's coming home!" Santa's a Scotsman He's loved everywhere he goes He moved from Glasgow to Lapland Following Rudolf's nose Santa's a Scotsman Come on, make a fuss Too many pies, not enough exercise Of course he's one of us! He only works one day a year
@noo2000 And then he takes a break He'll have a nap, a whisky And a bit of Christmas Cake He likes puddig supper And when he arrives tonight He'll come in through the window Coz the chimney is too tight! Santa's a Scotsman He's loved everywhere he goes He moved from Glasgow to Lapland Following Rudolf's nose Santa's a Scotsman Come on, make a fuss Too many pies not enough exercise Of course he's one of us. (Instrumental Break to the tune of Loch Lomand)
@noo2000 Santa's a Scotsman He's loved everywhere he goes He moved from Glasgow to Lapland Following Rudol's nose Santa's a Scotsman Come on, make a fuss Too many pies, not enough exercise Of course he's one of us! Santa's a Scotsman He's loved everywhere he goes He moved from Glasgow to Lapland Following Rudol's nose Santa's a Scotsman Come on, make a fuss Too many pies, not enough exercise Of course he's one of us! Of course he's one of us! Oh woah......
heard this on Ken's show this morning. What a laugh it is! Great stuff. They're thinking of getting rid of him too? is that right? Hopefully not. He's great to listen to. Turns out I knew his nephew when I was younger, never made the connection of the surname until I read his brother had died recently...
@apache30 This is a good song and all but it doesn't take much to beat this years x-factor. To be honest listening to a horse would be more pleasent to listening to this years X-factor.
Bravo! BRAVO!! Get's the hairs rising on the back of my neck everytime!! (and you've just gotta love the "Scotland the Brave" riff in the middle!)...Thanks Comrade...and a BIG thanks to Ken Bruce for bringing this song to our ears, without whom we may never even have heard it!
I love this. I've chosen it as the theme tune to a superb weekend I've just spent in Edinburgh. Why is it other countries have uplifting and cheerful songs at Christmas, and yet England has crap like 'Mad World'. A few years ago granted, but what a miserable, depressing cover that was - yet number 1 at Xmas! Now the Christmas number 1 slot is decided by X Factor winners.
Yeah, that's a positive thing I guess. I too was introduced to this courtesy of Ken Bruce BBC Radio 2. I was grinning ear to ear when it played. I thought the middle section on guitars sounded like The Darkness/Thin Lizzy!!! Cool.
some of us have known that santa is a scotsman since the day we where born well done ken bruce incidentally those racists who phoned in to the ken bruce show to complain about this song, should do well to remeber that if bonnie prince charlie had listned to his destiny and not to those around him we could well today be governed by a scotsman read your history,and i dont mean that idiot currently fronting the labour party any way merry xmas to u all
