29 Jan 03 - 03:30 PM (#877848) Subject: Lyr Req: There is a Monster in Loch Ness... From: CRANKY YANKEE Heard this In Soho (London) in 1958. I only remember the first verse and Chorus, as follows: If you belong to London Town and read the daily press You'll be convinced by this time, 'ther's a monster in Loch Ness The cockneys always laugh and say, "H'it don't arf make yuh fink, Them Hairy Highland laddies get far too much to drink." Chorus There is a monster in loch Ness, the fact yuh can nae hide, She's got more guff than a movie star, and a wiggle three miles wide, Oh, and a wiggle three miles wide. Plese helf if you know this song. Y'r Ob'd't S'v'nt Jody Gibson. |

From: Strupag Robin Hall and Jimmie definately did it and I can remember the chorus a wee bit different to your's Cranky "There is a monster in Loch Ness, A fact ye cannie hide, It's got mair curves than a movie star, An a wiggle three miles wide An a wiggle three miles wide" Iv'e just found their Scottish Choice album and it's not on that! The search continues |

From: michaelr This page shows what appears to be a 1960 Decca single, with "Monster" as the B side of "Sinner Man". No lyrics in sight, though... I learned something interesting, though -- these two lads (who I hadn't heard of) were in a band (The Galliards) with Leon Rosselson (who I had). Cheers, Michael |

There's a recording by that name on Stuart Anderson's album "Acts Naturally" (1995). Authorship is credited to "Garden." |

18 Sep 12 - 06:04 PM (#3407006) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: There is a Monster in Loch Ness... From: GUEST I learned this song years ago and am now looking for the words to teach the kids. I remember the words "but one wee wiley sassenach believed the thing was true and knew if he could prove it he'd be worth a bob or two. Then maybe something about up he came from London ..... and the chorus was Oh there is a monster in Loch Ness, a fact ye canny hide, she's got more curves than Racquel Welch and a wiggle three miles wide. Would love to get the rest of the song, but searching to no avail. |
