Thread Name: Lyr Req: Me and Brother Bill (Louis Armstrong)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Brother Bill
You're boond tae hear ma brother Bill for he's sae full o'wit
He 'as a job at fillin' doon the Busty Pit
At neet when 'e gets hame 'e's like a droonded rat
Instead of goin' upstairs tae bed he falls doon on the mat
Wey he can fill a thoosand or mair TITTY FA LA, TITTY FA LAY
Aye and they pays him by the score TITTY FA LAY TITTY FA LAY
'e fills the tubs sae neat and wi'oot any delay
But he can never find his pick TITTY FA LA TITTY FA LAY
SING TRA LA LA LA LA LA
OVER THE WALL'S OOT.

Yet another brother Bill - does anyone know a printed source for this (I've got 5 verses orally).?
