The recent 'Complaints' thread with its mention of the Sunday Post put me in mind of this song. I love it but need a little help with the characters (indicated by the question marks). Sheena Wellington sings it on her 'Cleersong' album.

THE DANDY AND THE BEANO
(Sheena Wellington)

Dundee is the golden city on the silvery Tay
Famed in song and story for many's the long day
For git (?) and jam and sailin' ships and the things that matter most
The 'Dandy' and the 'Beano' and the 'Sunday Post'

On D. C. Thompson's empire the sun has never set
The flag retreated long ago, but the comics are there yet
From New Delhi to Vancouver, when they eat their breakfast toast
They read the 'Dandy' and the 'Beano' and the 'Sunday Post'

There's the football, the bingo and lovely Francis Gaye (?)
Oor Wally and the Broons tae brighten your Sunday
And if you're bothered wi' bronchitis, the doc will cure your host (?)
And the 'Dandy' and the 'Beano' and the 'Sunday Post'

There's Desperate Dan an' Minnie an' Lord Snooty with his guile (?)
The Bash (?) Street kids and Dennis who will always make you smile
And if you want political comment of the type that helps the most
Try the 'Dandy' or the 'Beano' - no' the 'Sunday Post'

Repeat 1

I've seen copies of the 'Dandy' and the 'Beano' (no' the Sunday Post ...) but couldn't find all characters.
