22 Jul 09 - 10:57 PM (#2685709) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: All on a Gorm'l Day From: Jim Dixon 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. |

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 |
