Ye'll no sit here
From liner notes: In the list of American exports to Scotland, Yogi Bear has found much happier acceptance than Polaris--or Billy Graham.

"Billy booked up the Kelvin Hall.
Man, you should've seen his circus.
It was bigger, it was better
Than the one that comes at Christmas."

The song is a great favourite with the polis, when they're doing their folk-friend, leaving the sit-downers to sit and with the sit-downers, themselves, remind them and the polis, just who's co-operating with whom.

The tune is only faintly 'Hey Jock, ma Cuddy.' It is much more appreciated, popularly, as 'Ye'll no sh--- here.' A variant has been collected in Arkansas.

Style: rebel-burlesque.
