Indeed I can but, and you're going to hate me for this, I wasn't old enough to learn it when it was on the TV originally. There is also a version which is sung about supporters of the 'football' team Cowdenbeath.

"They come frae near Lochgelly,
they havenae got a telly,
They're dirty and they're smelly
The Cowden family.

The girls all have moustaches
They've all got nasty rashes
And nae c**t ever washes
The Cowden family"

Post by: Gordon on October 10, 2019, 09:47:23 AM: I recall this from the late 50's, and I'd be about 7 or so when this was on: anyone not sitting on the arm of their chair 'riding' enthusiastically is a spoilsport!
