The Scottish Trip Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Oh we went up to the highlands of Scotland
To the land of the loch and the glen
And we all bring our wives back a presant
So we can go next time again

(Chorus)
Singing, Too-ral-ay-oo-ral-ay-addi
We went up by train and by car
When the juice of the valleys start flowing
We all saw the game in the Bar

(Verse 2)
Oh we loaded the bus up with flaggons
And we left at a twenty past seven
We stopped 14 times
Between Neath and Bridgend
We were still in Glamorgan at 11!

(Chorus)
Singing, Too-ral-ay-oo-ral-ay-addi
We went up by train and by car
When the juice of the valleys start flowing
We all saw the game in the Bar

(Verse 3)
On the M5 Will spoke to the driver
He said “Can you no stop this bus for a while?”
He said “Man Alive, We’re on the M5
You’ll have to hang on til Carlisle!”

(Chorus)
Singing, Too-ral-ay-oo-ral-ay-addi
We went up by train and by car
When the juice of the valleys start flowing
We all saw the game in the Bar

(Verse 4)
Old Will, he climbed out on the sunroof
And he stood on the bus in disgrace
But he wasn’t to know, that the bridge was so low
But he died with a smile on his face!

(Chorus)
Singing, Too-ral-ay-oo-ral-ay-addi
We went up by train and by car
When the juice of the valleys start flowing
We all saw the game in the Bar

(Verse 5)
He was splattered all over the pavement
And his leek, it was stuffed down his throat
And I heard his friend say, as they scrapped Will away
“My ticket was inside his coat!”

(Chorus)
Singing, Too-ral-ay-oo-ral-ay-addi
We went up by train and by car
When the juice of the valleys start flowing
We all saw the game in the Bar
