Dr. Finlay Songtext
von Andy Stewart

In the land of bonny Scotland
Lives a doctor of great fame
In a place called Tannoch Brae
And Dr. Finlay is his name
All the ladies of the parish
Whether bold or quite demure
Will agree with you and me
That Dr. Finlay is the cure

Oh-ho-ho, oh, Dr. Finlay, we will all agree
Is without a doubt, let′s shout it out, the finest wee GP
He travels far in his little car and all the ladies say
"Oh, he'd never eat an apple ′cause it keeps the doctor away"

Dr. Finlay, Dr. Finlay is a fine young man
And I'm proud to be housekeeper to him and Dr. Cameron
Sometimes I hear them argue and the air turns blue
But I'll vie the last word, for I just say, "Mm-mm"


Oh-ho-ho, oh, Dr. Finlay, we will all agree
Is without a doubt, let′s shout it out, the finest wee GP
He travels far in his little car and all the ladies say
"Oh, he′d never eat an apple 'cause it keeps the doctor away"

Oh my, that Dr. Finlay, he′s a stickler for the truth
He thinks his practice makes him perfect
And he's the confidence of youth
He insists on modern methods in the medical dominion
But as the man with the wooden leg said
"It′s a matter of opinion"

Oh-ho-ho, oh, Dr. Finlay, we must all agree
Is without a doubt, let's shout it out, the finest wee GP
He travels far in his little car and all the ladies say
"Oh, he′d never eat an apple 'cause it keeps the doctor away"

Dr. Finlay, may I remind you that you aren't always right
Take the case of old McPherson that you diagnosed the other night
You pronounced the man to be dead and had us all in quite a funk
The poor old soul was dead alright, man, dead drunk

Oh-ho-ho, oh, Dr. Finlay, we will all agree
Is without a doubt, let′s shout it out, the finest wee GP
He travels far in his little car and all the ladies say
"Oh, he′d never eat an apple 'cause
Ha-ha-ha-ha, it keeps the doctor away"
