The Humblebums - Harry

Copied!

Harry is an ordinary boy don't know which way to go
Oh Harry is an ordinary boy don't know which way to go
He don't want to be a postman just because the teacher say so

Harry does his homework and go and lie on his warm bed
Oh Harry does his homework and go and lie on his warm bed
When he get bored he lift a mirror and look at his pretty head

Oh Harry's lying in bed and he's thinking all his pains and ills
Oh Harry's lying in bed and he's thinking all his pains and ills
Oh he's sneakin to the toilet and taking some of mommies happy pills

Oh Harry takes them pills and he crunched them with his big white teeth
Oh Harry takes them pills and he crunched them with his long white teeth and the next thing Harry knows is he's flying over Hampstead Heath...

Oh Harry is an ordinary boy he's got some place to go
Now Harry is an ordinary boy he's got some place to go
He don't need to be a postman just because the teacher say so...

edit bio

The Humblebums were a Scottish folk group that originated in Glasgow in the mid 1960s. The band was formed by two talented musicians, Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty. The duo quickly gained a following in the local music scene with their unique blend of folk, blues, and comedy.

Billy Connolly, known for his comedic talent and charismatic stage presence, provided the group with humorous lyrics and entertaining banter during their performances. Gerry Rafferty, on the other hand, brought his exceptional songwriting skills and musical prowess to the table, creating a dynamic musical partnership that captivated audiences.

The Humblebums released several albums during their time together, including "First Collection of Merry Melodies" and "The New Humblebums." Despite their success as a duo, Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty eventually decided to pursue separate musical paths.

Both Connolly and Rafferty went on to achieve further fame and success in their respective solo careers. Billy Connolly became a household name as a comedian and actor, while Gerry Rafferty found international acclaim with hit songs like "Baker Street" and "Stuck in the Middle with You."

Although The Humblebums may have been short-lived, their influence in the Scottish folk music scene and the lasting impact of their individual careers continue to be felt to this day. The duo's legacy lives on through their timeless music and the enduring talents of Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty.
