Kishorn Commandos

We're the Kishorn Commandos way up in Wester Ross
We've never had a gaffer, we've never had a boss
But we'll build the biggest oil-rig you've ever come across
Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos

Every single morning we get wakened by a shout
Get up, ye idle buggers, won't you get the finger out
And what do we get for breakfast? Seven pints of stout
Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos

Digging down a dusty hole till we can hardly speak
Summer sunshine, rain or snow, we seldom stop to sleep
We work for fourteen hours a day and fourteen days a week
Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos

We're the Kishorn Commandos way up in Wester Ross
We've never had a gaffer, we've never had a boss
But we'll build the biggest oil-rig you've ever come across
Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos

We're the toughest gang of workers that you have ever met
We'll work or fight with anyone, and you can lay a bet
There may be some men tougher, but we haven't found them yet
Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos

We've never joined the Navy, we've never joined the RAF
We've never joined the army, we're not so bloody daft
We'd rather go to Kishorn and get paid for skivin' aff
Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos

We're the Kishorn Commandos way up in Wester Ross
We've never had a gaffer, we've never had a boss
But we'll build the biggest oil-rig you've ever come across
Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos

You're welcome here in Kishorn if you know how to work
We've Geordies here from Africa and Paddies from New York
Wi' Scousers, Jocks and Taffys, all from the County Cork
Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos

And when the job is over we'll up and pack our bags
We'll spend the money on the booze, the women and the nags
But until then we'll have to do wi' navvies dressed in drag
Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos

Hey buddy...
We're the Kishorn Commandos way up in Wester Ross
We've never had a gaffer, we've never had a boss
But we'll build the biggest oil-rig you've ever come across
Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos

We're the Kishorn Commandos way up in Wester Ross

Just remember we're the Kishorn Commandos
