Lyrics The Corries

The Corries

Big Nellie May

I'll tell you the story of Big Nellie May,

She took up the golf in a serious way.

With her shiny new clubs and her big plastic bag,

She could easily pass for John Daly in drag.

Chorus: Toora loo, toora lay,

Just keep your head down boys and hammer away.

Now Nellie was handicapped more than the rest,

Her swing was impaired by the size of her chest;

Her over-development was her downfall,

When she swung, they both swung and they all missed the

ball.

Now Nellie decided they hampered her stroke,

So she tethered them up with a big piece of rope.

But they did not like being tied up in a noose;

And with the very next stroke both those rascals broke

loose.

In sheer desperation she turned to the pro,

Who looked at poor Nell and said "I don't know...

I've only seen two that look like yours do,

And they're on the camel that's out in the zoo."

This pointed remark at the poor girl's physique

Made Nellie lash out in a great fit of pique.

Her blow caught the pro in his most precious spot,

And now he's got two just as big as she's got.
