| Song Lyrics: |
BAG-PIPES-THAT'S MY BAG
WRITER RAY STEVENS
>From the albums "Gitarzan", "Boogity-Boogity", "The Incredible World of Ray Stevens", and "The Last Laugh" Written by Ray Stevens Note: The "vocal bagpipe" technique is where you make a bagpipe-like sound with your voice. (vocal bagpipe intro)
Well, blowin' that bagpipe, that's my bag
Hu-huffin' and a-puffin' on my bagpipe bag
Wheezin' and a-blowin' 'til my big fat floppy jowls sag
Make it sound like a train comin' over the trestle
If I blow it any harder, I could bust a blood vessel
Blowin' that bagpipe bag - OW! That's my bag
Ready, set, gonna blow a little bit... (vocal bagpipe break)
He came over the water on a boat from Scotland
To the U. S., started him a rock and roll band
Playin' for picnics, parties, cookouts and parades
He'd stand on the bandstand in his red plaid kilt
Groovin' on his bag, how the melody would lilt
Played up at Harvard and down in Vanderbilt
He's a miss... wears a dress
Well, blowin' that bagpipe, that's my bag
Hu-huffin' and a-puffin' on my bagpipe bag
Wheezin' and a-blowin' 'til my big fat floppy jowls sag
Make it sound like the whistle on a big ol' train
If I blow it any harder, I could bust a blood vein
Blowin' that bagpipe bag - OW! That's my bag
One, two... gonna blow some for you (vocal bagpipe solo)
Well, his name was Partrick Alfred Mouldoon
Never got up 'til it was late in the afternoon
Practiced all night... you hum it, he could play it, any tune
He'd blow up flat tires to keep his lungs in shape
And his face would turn purple like a big fat grape
Ev'ry time he cut out on the chorus of "Clare de Lou"
Well, blowin' that bagpipe, that's my bag
Hu-huffin' and a-puffin' on my bagpipe bag
Wheezin' that thing 'til my big fat floppy jowls sag
Make it sound like a train comin' over the trestle
If I blow it any harder, I could bust a blood vessel
Blowin' that bagpipe bag - OW! That's my bag Ready, set... here we go again! (Vocal bagpipe outro)
