Sorry to be so bad-tempered over this.
There's a bottom-line on "Cod Liver Oil and the Orange Juice."
It was written by Carl McDougal, it was sung by Hamish Imlach.
Sorry I went so snitty frit over "Bells and Johnny Walkers" -- if you too were looking down the wrong side of a bottle of Bells ...
I think I may have somewhere the echt-original.
I'll try and pull the stuff together -- crunch is you can easily gloss +any+ line in the pome +except+ "Cod liver oil and the orange juice."
This hoicks intae 1950s+ pregant Glasgow wimmen fed CLO&OJ in post-rationing fifties ...
Odd that, but ...
Manjana.
[Jeez, am I +so+ off the waw? that I get ma chops slapped over "irrelevancies"?
