Flower of Scotland (1991)
The Loo Song
I was born in Arkansas, me mammy was a squaw
Pappy hailed from Timbuktu
There's one thing I recall that I hated most of all
Was that little green shed, our loo
It had a cedar shingle roof, I swear that was the truth
Hinges all rusting and corroding
'Twas a ghastly shade o' green, the worst you've ever seen
It stood there at the bottom of the garden
Well, one day when I was six, I was chopping at some sticks
When a nasty little gleam came to my eye
I ran down to the john and shoved it off the lawn
Into the river flowing gently by
Soon my pappy called my name, he yelled "Hey, what's ya game?
Why did you shove our privy in the drink?”
Well then I shook with fear and shed a little tear
I said it wasn't me, I didn't think
It had a cedar shingle roof, I swear that was the truth
Hinges all rusting and corroding
'Twas a ghastly shade o' green, the worst you've ever seen
It stood there at the bottom of the garden
Then my Pappy told to me how George Washington felled the tree
Then he went and owned up straight away
And he because he told the truth, that honest youth, forsooth
His Pappy didn't punish him that day
Well, me being a little green, I thought I'd best come clean
So I told my pappy how I sank that shack
Well, with a rebel cry of glee he hauled me o'er his knee
Proceeded to wop me blue and black
It had a cedar shingle roof, I swear that was the truth
Hinges all rusting and corroding
'Twas a ghastly shade o' green, the worst you've ever seen
It stood there at the bottom of the garden
Since I hadn't told a lie, I asked my pappy why
He sat there and he answered with a frown
Well, George Washington's pappy, he wasn't sitting in the tree
When that little bastard went and chopped it down
