Trevor is the editor of the 'Folk Roundabout' which lists whats on locally. Next time I see him I will ask him for the words. |

At least I can stop worrying about where I heard it. But I would still appreciate the words. I don't want my friend who has it to get completely better before I have sung her the song - that would be a waste! |

Watch this space (or one very like it)! M |

The GASTRO-ENT... (Dave Waddington) (To the tune of Old Peculier by Keith Marsden) Some people go on holiday and drink their fill of booze, sir Some people book a package tour and some they book a cruise, sir Whate'er the type of holiday, whate'er your ship or flight is There'll always be one passenger with Gastro-enteritis (Chorus:) The gastro-ent, the gastro-ent, the gastro-enteritis The trots, the runs, the Gippy tums: The Gastro-enteritis... Some people fly with QANTAS (AIR) and some fly with SABINA Some fly to France, some Istanbul, and some fly to Medina. Whate'er the place you're going to, whate'er your place to alight is There'll always be one passenger with Gastro-enteritis When drinking water overseas, first always you should boil it, Make certain that the room you book has got an ensuite toilet; You'll stand for hours in corridors in 'jamas or in nighties If the poor sod locked in the bog has gastro-enteritis. Don't eat the seafood in Korea, nor the mutton in Namibia Avoid the wine in Austria and everything in Libya 'Cos whether you're on tropic shores or where the Northern Light is There'll always be one passenger with gastro-enteritis. Avoid those greasy foreign foods, especially those with meat, sir And stick to good old British grub, like fish and chips and pizza 'Cos whether you're on foreign shores, or whether you're on Blighty's You could be that one passenger with gastro-enteritis. |

I am afraid it will no longer be of any use to my friend since in the meantime she has regretably - recovered. But you never know when you might get the chance to use it again! |
