Shellbacker, Arthur Marsden also sings the song brilliantly and he will be at Saddleworth this weekend. |

Teaching Me Worm How To Swim………………Bill Newton Dm I was sat by the river with me rod and line C Dm Nice and comfortable feeling fine C Dm When this bailiff feller said , what are you doin C Dm If you don't own up I'll have to run you in C Dm Am Dm I said I'm teaching me worm, how to swim, Teaching me worm how to swim F C Am Dm He's looking fit, he's looking trim He's trained for hours down in the gym C Dm Am Dm The rod and line's just to steady him, I'm teaching me worm how to swim Dm He said the sign up there says the fishing's private C Dm And the only conclusion that I can arrive at C Dm Is that far from animal aquatic coaching C Dm What your doin is bloody poaching Chorus Then he said what are all these worms in a tin Your surely not going to throw them all in I said their skills are highly prized Coz they do swimming what's synchronised Chorus Just then me worm was grabbed by a trout And in trying to rescue I pulled the fish out Then I shouted what are you going to do, Your fish eat me worm, now I'm going to sue Chorus Dm Now I know your Honour you judge on merit C Dm Just like last week with me cave rescue ferret C Dm My interest is in animal coaching C Dm You surely can't think I was poaching |

11 Nov 10 - 10:51 AM (#3029332) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Teaching Me Worm How to Swim (Bill Newton From: GUEST,Ken Hall Bill Newton wrote a further 400 songs beside 'worm', the copyright of all of which is now owned by Marion Hall. Before he died (7 July 2000), Bill recorded eight cassettes of his most popular songs copies of most of which are available from Marion. All proceeds from the sale of bill's songs go to cancer research. Conditional copyright clearance for making recordings can also be obtained from Marion. As we have ownership of the masters of all Bill's recorded work, it is planned to re-release the cassettes as a boxed set of four CDs if there is sufficient demand. You can get further details of anything relating to Bill Newton's material from Marion at: j.m.hallhome@btinternet.com |
