Bumblebums were commissioned to write a song in the interest of Scottish tourism
about the beautiful resort on the Costa Clyde, Dunoon.
[C#]
Aloha.
As we leave the sun-drenched shores of Kilkaraigan behind,
we see the children leaping up and down with their hands in the air.
Are they happy?
No.
They've got broken bottles stuck in the soles of their feet.
Clyde Coast [G#] landlady are [F#] looking
[G#] bored.
[C] [C#]
The absence [G#] of tourists [F#] has got them [C#] floored.
[F#] The questions [C#] they're asking would [F#] make you [C#] swoon.
[C#] [G#]
Why don't they come back to [F#] Dunoon?
[C#] [A#m] [G#]
[C#] Why this swinging resort, this [F#] switched-on [G#] scene,
[E] [C#] has three pubs, two cafes and [F#] a fag [A#m] machine.
[F#] And hills you can walk up while [F#] the rain is [C] running down.
[C#]
[G#] [G] Why don't they come back [G#]
to [F#] Dunoon?
[C#]
[G#] Long time ago, people would [C] flow [F#] in, [A#m] even from [C#] [G#] overseas.
But in recent years, the only ones on the pier
have been seagulls [A#m] and a few [C#] [G#] CND.
Oh, they can't [G#] understand it.
Ah, [A#] hear them [Gm]
roar.
[G] [C#]
Look at Yank here [G] and Harry.
[C#] [F#] Find the school [C#] and the [F#] nightlife that stops in [F#] the [C#] afternoon.
[G#]
Why don't they come back to [F#] Dunoon?
[C#]
[C#] [D#] Ah, beautiful [D] song.
I'm sure you don't really mean it,
because I know for a fact they go
about the beautiful resort on the Costa Clyde, Dunoon.
