CHRISTINE - Matt McGinn
A Scotsman who spends his time writing and singing for unions on the British Isles. His gift for humour has brightened topical writing on both sides of the ocean.
CHRISTINE
Words by Matt McGinn
Tune: Mrs. McGrath
© 1963 by author
Queen Vickie used tae sit upon her magic stane
Makin up governments all o' her ain
But they took that privilege away frae the queen
And gie'd it tae a lassie that they call Christine.
CHORUS:
With your Tooria, falderdoodle Da
Tooria Oriooria.
With your Tooria, falderdoodle Da
Tooria Oriooria.
Christine was poor when she left the school
But she made a lot of cash, she was naebody's fool
She dinae make it working on the factory floor
She went tae London and became -- a model.
In London Christine did gie well
Wi' a hoose and a Rolls Royce a' tae hersel
But the silly wee thing she fell in love
Wi' Gordon-Edgecombe-Ivanov.
For she had another laud called John
He was always there when the rest had gone
He was sure he was the luckiest man alive
Till he fell intae the arms of the M.I.5
M.I.5 were awful ta'en aback
They were nearly even gaunnie tell their Uncle Mac.
For here was a Tory and a rye buck Red
Fightin oot the cold war in Christine's bed.
Lucky Gordon's back in the jail again
And Mac's getting thrown oot at number ten
The Ministers are all in a terrible rage
And Christine's thinking of gaun on the stage.
