The Lamberton Lamplighter - Long Fin Killie

I haven’t really got much time for girls

Don’t get me wrong now

Don’t get me wrong now

It’s just my nights are occupied with lighting

These damn lamps

Oh, and night’s a time for courting for girls

Night’s a time for courting for girls, isn’t it?

I’ve been propositioned by girls before

On me lamp rounds, oh yes, I have

But I’m at pains to explain it’s not my line of trade

Buying flowers and chocolate mice

It’s just the thought of commitment’s totally wild

Any sort of commitment’s out of order, isn’t it?

I’ve had some girls come up to me

Who said it won’t take that long

Just a quick one up the back one for the road

And I’m at pains to explain I’m not that type of guy

Send the sulking bitches on their way

I seem to have a lot more time for guys

Don’t get me wrong now, don’t get me wrong now

It’s just their wit and charm and conversation

Captures youth and that’s the truth

Oh and youth’s the time when cares traipse free

I’ve had some girls come up to me

Who said it won’t take that long

Just a quick one up the back one for the road

And I’m at pains to explain I’m not that type of guy

Send the sulking bitches on their way
