Out o' the East, there came a hard man
Oh-ho-ho, all the way frae Bridgeton
Ah-ha-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

He went into a pub and he came out paralytic
Oh-ho-ho, VP and cider
Ah-ha-ha, what a hell of a mixture
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Does this bus go to the Dennistoun Palais?
Oh-ho-ho, I'm lookin' for a lumber
Ah-ha-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

There in the dancin', he met Hairy Mary
Oh-ho-ho, the flower of the Gorbals
Ah-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

"Oh now Mary, are you dancin'?"
"Oh-ho no, it's just the way I'm staunin''"
Ah-ha-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

"Oh now Mary, you're one in a million"
"Oh-ho-ho, and so's your chances!"
Ah-ha-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice
"Oh now Mary, can I run you home?"
"Oh-ho-ho, I've got a pair of sandshoes"
"Ah ha-ha, you're a hell of a funny!"
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

[Instrumental]

In through the back-close, and out through the dunny
Oh-ho-ho, it wasn't for the first time
Ah-ha-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Her mother came out, she was going to the cludgie
Oh-ho-ho, I buggered off sharpish
Ah-ha-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Hairy Mary had a little baby
Oh-ho-ho, the father's in the army
Ah-ha-ha, glory hallelujah
Cod liver oil and the orange juice

Hairy Mary's lookin' for her hard man
Oh-ho-ho, he joined the Foreign Legion
Ah-ha-ha, Sahara under a camel
Cod liver oil and the orange juice
Cod liver oil and the orange juice
