about

I wrote this comedy song following some lighthearted banter on Facebook about the footpath on Rothbury golf club being subjected to a mysterious 'orange peel dropper.' I am now using this track as a fundraiser for the Royal Air Forces Association, a cause close to my heart during this time, as I have worked as an entertainer in 'Rothbury House' (one of RAFA's homes) for many years. I will donate all takings to the Royal Air Forces Association.

lyrics

Orange peel, it's unreal,
Spoiling the walk on my golf course.
Pick it up, you dirty mutt,
Gimme dog muck,
Anything but that
Orange peel, it makes me squeal,
When I see it there on my golf course.

I'm gonna take that orange by the seat of its pants,
Gonna put it in a bag, though it's crawling with ants,
And it won't spoil my walk anymore.

Orange and green should not be seen
Save in the wardrobe of an Irish Queen,
Or is it red? I'm never sure,
Upon my golf course it has no allure,
Everybody knows it doesn't decompose,
But just sits there on my golf course.

I'm gonna take that orange by the seat of its pants
Gonna put it in a bag, though it's crawling with ants,
And it won't spoil my walk anymore.

Sherlock Holmes's hands would be full,
Trying to find out the villain.
Tracks are covered with sheep's wool,
The biggest crime since whisky-distilling.
I'll take it home for my compost heap,
I hope I don't get sticky fingers

I'm gonna take that orange by the seat of its pants
Gonna put it in a bag, though it's crawling with ants,
And it won't spoil my Sunday anymore.

I'm gonna take that orange by the seat of its pants
Gonna put it in a bag, though it's crawling with ants,
And it won't spoil my Sunday anymore.
