| The Wireless ah the memories O listenin fin I wis a loon On dark winters nichts roon the fire Oor Ecko radio it sure wis a boon . There wis Dick Barton Special Agent Fa took on aa the baddies It fair sharpened the imagination O fowk like us as laddies . Paul Temple an ace dectective As weel as yon PC49 Solvin aa the nations crimes Their adventures I likit fine . Fin I wis a bittie younger Tammy Troot wis aa the rage His escapades in the river Held yer attention for an age . Setterday nicht jist efter tea Ye sat an listen’t ti the story O a Glesga faimily’s daily lives The McFlannels wis nivver gory |
Scottish Dance Music we aye likit Wi Jimmy Shand an Adam Rennie Their bands hid ye tappin yer feet Jimmy an Adam were twa o’ many . Sports Report on the Licht Programme Gied ye aa the fitba scores Ye hid reports on the horse racin As weel as Oxford an Cambridge rowers . Jet Morgan an his grand adventures In the programme “Journey Into Space” Hid ye jumpin up an doon Wid he vanish withoot a trace . Comedy shows like Take It From Here Wid hae ye laachin loud an lang The Goons hid ye in stitches ti Wi their funny “Ying Tong” sang . Their wis ither delights on the radio Faar ower mony ti write doon This his bin jist a flavour O the wireless fin I wis a loon |
