Featuring "Bobby Lynch". A long tradition for the Glasgow residents was to sail doon the water(River Clyde)for the annual holiday or day trip.That was before sunshine holidays in Spain and elsewhere were affordable by the workers.
The Day We Went to Rothesay, O!
Chorus
Diddum a doo a dum a day,
Diddum a doo a dy dum do
Diddum a doo a dum a day,
The night we went tae Rothsay-o.
2. A soldier lad named Ru'glen Will,
Wha' regiment's lyin' at Barn Hill
Went off wi' a tanner to get a gill
In a public hoose in Rothsay-o
Says he: "I think I'd like to sing."
Says I "y'll no do sic a thing!"
"So clear the room and I'll make a ring
And I'll fecht y'all in Rothsay-o!"
Chorus
3. In search of lodgin's we did slide
To find a place where we could bide
There was eighty-twa of us inside
In a single room in Rothsay-o!
We all lay doon t'take our ease,
When somebody happend for to sneeze
And he wakened half a million fleas
In a lodgin' hoose in Rothsay-o!
Chorus
4. There were several different kinds of bugs,
Some had feet like dyer's clogs
And they sat on the bed and they cockit their lugs
And cried: "Hurrah! for Rothsay-o!"
Says I: "I think it's time to slope!"
For the polis wouldn'a let us stop,
So we went and joined the Band O'Hope
And said farewell tae Rothsay-o!
Chorus

I could have sworn that was Ronnie Corbett in a fake beard

Ah, is THAT what the Band of Hope means? I've always wondered. I have the song on a CD by Alastair McDonald, always been a big favorite with my kids.
Cheers.
