Oh, Dear* Songtext
von Billy Connolly

Oh dear, what can the matter be?
I′m scaird tae go tae the lavat'ry.
I′ve no been since two weeks last Saturday.
I know who's hidin' in there!

My name′s Shug McGlumpher and I live up this close.
I′ll tell ye a story. I promise it's nae boast.
During the power cut, I saw a big ghost.
Naebody knows that he′s there.


Oh dear, what can the matter be?
I'm scaird tae go tae the lavat′ry.
I've no been since two weeks last Saturday.
I know who′s hidin' in there!

He'd two big red eyes. On his head was a dent, man;
Big hairy horns, and his neck was all bent, man.
My mammy says he sounds just like the rent man,
But I know who′s hiding in there.

Oh dear, what can the matter be?
I′m scaird tae go tae the lavat'ry.
I′ve no been since two weeks last Saturday.
I know who's hidin′ in there!
