Dear Devon Smudge - I think this may be the one your looking for. It is on one of the Corries Live recordings known as " La=De-Da-De_Dum." enjoy - JimmyC.

On the 17th of March, in La-De-Da-De-Da
A son was born to Mrs Da-De-Dum
He Had Two arms, Two Legs , a mouth and eyes and ears
And the usual La-de-da-de-da-de-dum.

They duly christened him La-de-da-de-da
They gave his second name as Da-De-Dum
And all his life, though he lived full ninety years
He was known as La-de-da-de-da-de-dum

As he grew up, his La-de-da-de-da
Grew quicker than his other Da-De-Dum
And when he was sixteen, everyone remarked
On his great big La-de-da-de-da-de-dum.

He met a girl in La-de-da-de-da
She was pretty but a little Da-de_dum
And the reason that he loved her best was she
Did'nt mind his La-de-da-de-da-de-dum

Her mother was awfully, La-de-da-de-da
Her father was completely Da-De-Dum
They sat down to dinner of salmon mayonnaise
And a bowl of La-de-da-de-da-de-dum

Now all went well till La-de-da-de-da
He bent to take a sup of Da-de-dum
He tipped his plate and the salmon mayonnaise
Fell upon his Da-de-da-de-dum

Her mother cried loudly, DA-DE-DA-DE-Da
Her father sorta mumbled da-de-dum
Her mother said dear you should try to find a boy
With a smaller La-de-da-de-da-de-dum

They married in the spring of La-de-da-de-da
They honeymooned in lovely Da-de-dum
But they found that they could'nt fit in the double bed
For his great big La-de-da-de-da-de-dum

So they decided, La-de-da-de-da
To get a single bed for Da-de-dum
They slept together and they used the other one
For to rest his la-de-da-de-da-de-dum

On the 19th of June in La-de-da-de-da
He took ill with a case of da-de-dum
So they wrapped him up in bandages that ended with a bow
Round his la-de-da-de-da-de-da-de-dum

He died in the spring of Da-de-da-de-da-
A victim of the dreaded Da-de-dum
They put him in his coffin but could'nt shut the lid
For his great big da-de-da-de-da-de-dum

Then the undertaker da-de-da-de-da
Said we need a second one for da-de-dum
So he made another coffin roughly three feet two by one
Just to take his la-de-da-de-da-de-dum

You can read it on his tombstone , la-de-da-de-da
The only son of Mrs Da-de-dum
Here lies his body but in two graves up but one
Lies his la-de-da-de-da-de-da-de-dum.
