24 October: Ardrossan to Irvine

When Johnny comes out to play again

Hurrah! Hurrah!

We'll give him a hearty welcome then

Hurrah! Hurrah!

He’ll give us scones and rhubarb jam

(and sometimes you’ll even get a dram)

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes out to play

We’ll get the bus to Ardrossan town

Hurrah! Hurrah!

We’ll go upstairs, but Jimmy’ll stay down

Hurrah! Hurrah!

We’ll learn how to wire a double switch

Bet it won’t go without a hitch

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes out to play

We’ll watch those  bikes on the promenade

Hurrah! Hurrah!

A speeding one can whack you hard

Hurrah! Hurrah!

And we’ll see the locals walk their dugs

And maybe do a deal of drugs

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes out to play

We’ll meet Ronnie’s friends from the CTC

Hurrah! Hurrah!

Perhaps he’ll invite them back for tea

Hurrah! Hurrah!

We’ll stop for a break at 12 o’clock

And Malcolm will give us Edinburgh Rock

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes out to play

We’ll see the countryside at its best

Hurrah, hurrah!

Old fridges, freezers, and the rest

Hurrah, hurrah!

And we’ll see the school where Ian taught

And he’ll promise not to be distraught

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes out to play

Then we’ll all go back to 1-6-3

Hurrah! Hurrah!

Some’ll be dying for a pee

Hurrah! Hurrah!

And we’ll be such a happy group

Cos Johnny’ll give us bread and soup

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes out to play
