What Guest wants, I presume, is the lyrics to the very witty parody of "Mull of Kintyre" called "Mulligan's Tyre". I too would like to know who wrote it.

Don't know about ABC format but the tab and lyrics are here. Tune was written by Paul McCartney and Denny Laine.

JP, I think its the parody lyrics we need.

Kevin, there isn't a Mulligan Tyre (like a Goodyear or Uniroyal), the song is just a rather clever (and funny)parody of the chorus of "Mull of Kintyre".

I know a singer in Sussex who knows the words, but that isn't much good at this point in time. Someone on the 'Cat must know it.

Scotish singer Jim Reid recorded a song of this name. I recall it as being amusing at the time, when every heather clad, tartainish, piano accordion wealding dance band thought they were "with it" by including a pop song in their program. 'Fraid I can't rember the name of the LP, as it would have been then. cheers.
