Subject: Lyr Add: Maggie's Waddin From: Jim McLean Date: 19 Nov 10 - 05:59 AM I wrote this for the wedding of Princess Margaret to Anthony Armstrong Jones about 50 years ago. Nothing has changed except the principal characters. MAGGIE'S WADDIN' Words Jim McLean, Tune: Lewis Bridal Song Sing a song o' tax and woe, empty pooches in a row Chancellor's collectin' dough a' for Maggie's waddin' Silk and satin, gold lamé, Tony wears a lum hat tae Ma suit's in the pawn sae whit'll ah dae at the Royal Waddin' Maggie flounces doon the aisle, her mither staunds wi' forcit smile Needs a dose o' castor oil at her dochter's waddin' Tony's doon on bendit knee, gied up his photographie Nae mair birdies will he see efter Maggie's waddin' Foreign guests fae near and far, packed inside Westminster Ha' Parasites fae France an' a' at the Royal Waddin' Whaur d'ye think they'll honeymoon? Rome, Paree or on the moon Wi'oot a doot it's no Dunoon efter sic a waddin' Noo they're mairried aff they blow tae spend a thoosan' poond or so That's the way oor money goes for Mrs Jones's waddin' Back again and help ma bob, Tony hasnae got a job Wha will buy the christenin' robe - you an' me ah'll bet ye Royal mince is awfy dear, Tony needs a rise next year Increase tax on fags an' beer efter Tony's waddin' Maggie's ta'en up fancy cookin' - Bird's Nest soup fae a Chinese book an' Suzie Wong won't hae a look in - velly nicey wedding Sing a song o' tax and woe, empty pooches in a row Chancellor's collectin' dough a' for Maggie's waddin' |
