Yes a’bhalaich lyrics
by Peat and Diesel
[Verse 1]
I took a stroll to The Lewis Bar
And Shonnie Doon was standing there
I said to Derek, "Can I have a drink?"
He says, "Have you got any money this week?"
[Refrain]
I said yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
[Verse 2]
I took a wander over to The Star
And I spent half an hour at the bar
I took a seat, but aye no joke
He says, "Are you coming out for a smoke?"
[Refrain]
I said yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
I said yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
[Verse 3]
I was happy by the fire
The old man came in and said he had a flat tyre
I was only halfway through my drink
He said, "Will you give us a hand with this?"
[Refrain]
I said yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
[Verse 4]
It was at the dangler out the back
Then we realised we'd forgotten the jack
He said, "Where are you going for a lift?
Put on Franks Burns for a taxi on the tick."
[Refrain]
I said yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
I said yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
[Verse 5]
Well, then we got the tyre fixed
And it was going on for half past six
I said, "Can I have another drink?"
"Well you'd better hurry up and make it quick."
[Refrain]
I said yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
[Verse 6]
I was there half the night
I forgot to phone the wife
And then she phones to me and says
"Go and get another life."
[Refrain]
I said yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
I said yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes a’bhalaich
Well yes
