Subject: Lyr Req: All on A Gorm'l Day From: GUEST,fraxillina Date: 15 Jul 09 - 12:08 PM This is a Beers Family song, from the recording "Dumbarton's Drums." If anybody has the lyrics (or knows where I can find them online) I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: All on a Gorm'l Day From: Jim Dixon Date: 22 Jul 09 - 10:57 PM The Folk Music Index says the Beers Family's album "Dumbarton's Drums" was an LP that came out in 1967. I can't find any evidence that that album has ever been reissued, or that ALL ON A GORM'L DAY has ever appeared on any other recording. It also says ALL ON A GORM'L DAY was written by Robert Beers. So it's not likely we'll get an answer unless someone who has that album sees this. |

Subject: Lyr Add: ALL ON A GORM'L DAY (Beers Family) From: cnd Date: 23 Feb 20 - 04:12 PM The album Dumbarton's Drums by the Beers Family is now available on Spotify. You can read the liner notes of the album here where Robert Beers explains the song as follows: "All on a Gorm'l Day One day I was driving along, and I thought about some strange animal. So I wrote a ditty about them." Here's my transcription of it, though a lot of the words are some nonsense words and could probably be spelled any number of ways. As I went into town one day I saw a strange thing on the way A wuggle hiponostomay All on a market day Oh, it was long and it was thin And it had hair upon its chin It had a most hypostrous grin A hiponostomay It's true, it's true! Exactly what I saw It's true, it's true! Before my very eyes As I went into town one day I saw a strange thing on the way A gorml' elophontomay All on a market day It had a tail upon its nose It came from Afferdafferbose Where people never wear their clothes An elophontomay It's true, it's true! Exactly what I saw It's true, it's true! Before my very eyes As I went in to town one day I saw a strange thing on the way A nurdo crocodoodlemay All on a market day Its back looked like a pocket book Some feller caught it on a hook It ate him when he tried to look A crocodoodlemay It's true, it's true! Exactly what I saw It's true, it's true! Before my very eyes As I went in to town one day I saw a strange thing on the way An eple crapplepandamay All on a market day On its bare skin it had some hair Which made it look just like a bear It doesn't come from anywhere An crapplepandamay It's true, it's true! Exactly what I saw It's true, it's true! Before my very eyes |
