Biography:
William "Billy" Connolly, CBE, (born 24 November 1942) is a comedian, musician, presenter, and actor. He is sometimes known, especially in his native Scotland, by the nickname "The Big Yin" (The Big One), a reference to his height. Any male visitor to Glasgow above average height may be addressed as "Big Yin" by the locals; Billy, however, is The Big Yin. An early irreverent sketch, The Crucifixion, is an example of his often controversial humour

The Wellie Boot Song - Billy Connolly
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Scott Gordon
Tuning: Standard
************************************
CHORUS:
G D C D
If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
G C D
You'd be in the hospital or infir-mary
G C G
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
G D G
If you didn't have your feet in your well- ies
VERSE 1:
G C G
Oh wellies they are wonderful, oh wellies they are swell
G C G
'Cause they keep out the water and they keep in the smell
G C G
And when you're sitting in a room you can always tell
G D G
When some bugger takes off his well - ies
CHORUS:
VERSE 2:
G C G
Oh and when you're out walking in the country with a bird
G C G
And you're strolling over fields just like a farmer's herd
G C G
And somebody shouts, "Keep off the grass" and you think how absurd
G C G
and SQUELCH you find why farmers all wear well - ies
CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
G C G
There's fishermen and firemen, there's farmers and all
G C G
Men out digging ditches and working in the snow
G C G
This country it would grind to a halt and not a thing would grow
G C G
If it wasn't for the workers in their well - ies
CHORUS:
VERSE 4:
G C G
Oh Edward Heath and Wilson they haven't made a hit
G C G
They're ruining this country more than just a bit
G C G
If they keep on the way they're going we'll all be in the (shhhhh)
G C G
So you'd better get your feet in your well - ies
CHORUS:
P.S. The last verse is a bit dated as it refers to the political
leaders of the time!
You might want to try replacing it with this?:
'Oh Cameron and Mr Clegg they haven't made a hit'
