Misc - Rambling Rover lyrics

Rambling Rover<br />

- from Silly Wizard<br />

- chorus: -<br />

Oh there's sober men & plenty<br />

And drunkards barely twenty<br />

There are men of over ninety<br />

That have never yet kissed a girl.<br />

But give me a rambling rover<br />

Fae Orkney down to Dover<br />

We will roam the country over<br />

And together we'll face the world.<br />

I've roamed through all the nations<br />

Ta'en delight in all creation<br />

And I've tried a wee sensation<br />

Where the company did prove kind.<br />

When parting was no pleasure<br />

I've drunk another measure<br />

To the good friends that we treasure<br />

For they always are in our mind.<br />

There's many that feign enjoyment<br />

From merciless employment<br />

Their ambition was this deployment<br />

From the minute they left the school<br />

And they save and scrape and ponder,<br />

While the rest go out and squander<br />

See the world and rove and wander -<br />

And they're happier as a rule.<br />

If you're bent with arthritis<br />

Your bowels have got colitis<br />

You've galloping ballicitus<br />

And you're thinking it's time you died.<br />

If you've been a man of action<br />

While you're lying there in <br />

Traction<br />

You may gain some satisfaction<br />

Thinking "Jesus, at least I've tried."
