lyrics

Grenola Figlet, not a twiglet nor a twitch
At Marianne's so grand she worked hard with the stitch
And a hitch for the rich, Grenola Figlet

Down by the harbour where in ardour Figlet spied
A rugged sailor from the kale yard by and by
It was Bouf from the south down by the Clyde

Sailors and Tailors who fit so perfectly
Would not ask for anything more than a romance by the shore
Sailors and Tailors when spirits start to fail just let the wind prevail
Sailors and Tailors

And so Grenola stripped her finery and fey
Rolled up her borrowed sleeves and worked the Docker's Bay Cafe
Day to day

And Bouf in time he swapped the kale yard and the sea
Once sailor now a jailer, master of the key
And up to thee our souls to free, Bouf the Jailer

Sailors and Tailors who fit so perfectly
Would not ask for anything more than a romance by the shore
Sailors and Tailors use let your spirits sail
When the storm it blows a gale and all else starts to fail
Just let the and prevail, Sailors and Tailors

Grenola Figlet once a Cygnet, now a wife
To Bouf the Jailer, bailer of the daily strife
They do live a simple life

But now and then the lovers leave the Docker's Bay
The rugged sailor raises anchor from the Tay
And resplendent in her Finery and Fey, Grenola Figlet

Sailors and Tailors who fit so perfectly
Would not ask for anything more than a romance by the shore
Sailors and Tailors use let your spirits sail
When the storm it blows a gale and all else starts to fail
Just let the and prevail, Sailors and Tailors
