If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
G C D
You'd be in the hospital or infir-mary
G C G
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
G D G
If you didn't have your feet in your well- ies
verse 1:
G C G
Oh wellies they are wonderful, oh wellies they are swell
G C G
'Cause they keep out the water and they keep in the smell
G C G
And when you're sitting in a room you can always tell
G D G
When some bugger takes off his well - ies
Chorus
verse 2:
G C G
Oh and when you're out walking in the country with a bird
G C G
And you're strolling over fields just like a farmer's herd
G C G
And somebody shouts, "Keep off the grass" and you think how absurd
G C G
and SQUELCH you find why farmers all wear well - ies
Chorus
verse 3
G C G
There's fishermen and firemen, there's farmers and all
G C G
Men out digging ditches and working in the snow
G C G
This country it would grind to a halt and not a thing would grow
G C G
If it wasn't for the workers in their well - ies
Chorus
verse 4
G C G
Oh Edward Heath and Wilson they haven't made a hit
G C G
They're ruining this country more than just a bit
G C G
If they keep on the way they're going we'll all be in the (shhhhh)
G C G
So you'd better get your feet in your well - ies
Chorus
