Re: Derek's posting, I feel it is only right that in the interests of truth,
justice and the Scottish way I point out that the lyrics go:
Come in, come in it's nice tae see ye,
How's yersel, ye're lookin grand.
After that my memory, like Derek's, fails me. I'm not even sure of the tune
after that. It always seems to merge into the classic valedictory song from
the same programme:
Haste ye back, ye're always welcome
er, tum, ti, tum, ti tum
As someone once said, sentiment works as long as you mean it. There was
always something good-hearted and sociable about the spirit of those
programmes, a spirit which defies the ironic tenor of much our current
cultural experience.
