Oh, there're sober men and plenty
Drunkards barely 20
There are men of over 90
Who have never yet kissed a girl
But give me a ramblin' rover
Frae Orkney down to Dover
We'll roam the country over
And together we'll face the world
I've roamed through all the nations
In delight of all creations
And enjoyed a wee sensation
When the company there was kind
And when partin' was no pleasure
I've drunk another measure
To the good friends that we treasure
For they always are in our mind
Oh, there're sober men and plenty
Drunkards barely 20
There are men of over 90
Who have never yet kissed a girl
But give me a ramblin' rover
Frae Orkney down to Dover
We'll roam the country over
And together we'll face the world
Well, there's many that feign enjoyment
From merciless employment
Their ambition was this deployment
From the minute they left the school
She save and scrape and ponder
While the rest go out and squander
See the world and rove and wander
And are happier as a rule
Oh, there're sober men and plenty
Drunkards barely 20
There are men of over 90
Who have never yet kissed a girl
But give me a ramblin' rover
Frae Orkney down to Dover
We'll roam the country over
And together we'll face the world

If you're bent wi' arthiritis
Your bowels have got colitis
You've gallopin' bollockitis
And you're thinkin' it's time you died
You've been a man o' action
Though you're lying there in traction
You may get some satisfaction
Thinkin', "Jesus, at least I tried"
