The C & W Super Song by Billy Connolly
The C & W Super Song lyrics
Yes my granny is a cripple in Nashville, friends
This story I tell you is true
One day, she went out on her wheelchair
Never knowin' it had a loose screw
Well a wheel came off of that wheelchair, friends
And on three wheels it trundled away
And it trundled right over the edge of a cliff
In an old sea-side town, far away
Sing, a-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh
Now the boy who was pushin the wheelchair
Was a little blind orphan called Joe
And he said "Oh where is my granny?"
"And where did that damn wheelchair go?"
Well he ran off to search for that wheelchair, friends
But his sightless eyes led him astray
And he ran right over the edge of the cliff
In that old sea-side town, far away
Sing, a-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh
Well somebody sent for a doctor
And an ambulance too, it was called
And the people who lived in the neighbourhood
Stood around and they cried, how they bawled
Well the doctor and the ambulance came rushing, friends
They were rushing from two different ways
And they crashed with a biff, and shot over the cliff
In that old sea-side town, far away
Sing, a-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh
Well they sent for brave father Maloney
To prey for the poor soles they pose
And he said "Well now that we're gathered here good people"
"Well we might as well prey I suppose!"
But, too many people had gathered
And the edge of the cliff gave way
And they dropped with a yell
They all shot straight to hell
In that old, sea-side town, so terribly far away
Sing, a-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh
