When I Was Single
When ah was single I used to comb ma hair
Noo ah’m mairried I havenae the time tae spare
It’s a life, a life, a weary, weary life
Yer better tae be single than tae be a mairried wife
When ah was single ah used a powder puff
Noo ah’m mairried ah canny afford the stuff
Wan says ‘Mammy, help me intae ma pram’
Anither says ‘Mammy, gie’s a piece an jam’
Wan says ‘Mammy, help me intae ma bed’
Anither says ‘Mammy, scratch ma wudden leg’
