Anyone know the words? It goes something like:

They were howlin' in the kitchen like a caravan of tinkies e.t.c.

Cheers

I'm afraid I can't work it all out, but it certainly comes as part of a track by Five Hand Reel, with Dick Gaughan singing. Was it called Both Sides of the Forth? There were various bits of song, like Hi Ca' Thru' and others.

All I can offer is the following, perhaps to set someone else's memory a-running.

I've got the album on vinyl, but no way of playing vinyl at the moment. Sat here with a cupboard full of records, and what happens . . . moan, moan.

They were howlin in the kitchen like a caravan o tinkies, And some were playin ping pong and tiddly widdly winkies.

Then there's something possibly about up the howe and down somewhere else, and being on a spree.

Yours frustratedly,

Bobby Bob .

The song is McGinty's Meal and Ale..........someone sang about a 20 verse rendition at a session Saturday, but I don't have the lyrics handy. Jonathan
