Tonart: A major
Verse 1
G
One of Matt's happiest jobs
was as warden of an adventure playground in the Gorbals,
where he learned all over again
the joy in sounds
and in playing with words.
Matt also learned from his own children,
and ever one to fasten
on an absurdity,
when he heard their story
of the whole school being disrupted by
a tannoy announcement for a single pupil,
he went one better,
with a song about the
whole world
being disrupted by a search
Wee Anne took her yo -yo
G
to school she did call,
C
though she shouldnae hate it at all.
It fell through her horn
G
and it rolled in the ground
C
And it went through a hole in the wall
Did you find a reddy -o -yo,
G
reddy -o -y o, reddy -o -yo?
Did you find a reddy -o -yo
The daring wee Annie,
C
A decent wee man as a rule
G
It's pleasing to tell that he rang on his bell
C
And he asked every ween in the school
Did you find a red yo -yo,
G
red yo -yo, red yo -yo?
Did you find a red yo -yo
G
The wains left their pencils and pa pers
and stencils
C
to knock on the doors aroond
And as they were raffin'
G
and ringin' and chappin'
C
they asked o' the folk o' the tune
Did you find a riddy -o -yo,
G
riddy -o -yo, riddy -o -yo?
Did you find a riddy -o
-yo where we illustrate?
C
The police soon learned
G
and they were concerned
C
They left other murderers aside
The whole of the force was
C
And they went on the telly and cried
Did you find a red yo -yo,
G
red yo -yo, red yo -yo?
Did you find a red yo -yo
All over the country,
C
were glued to their big TV screens
Things really got gonsam
G
when President Johnson received
C
an appeal from the Queen
Did you find a red yo -yo,
G
red yo -yo, red yo -yo?
Did you find a red yo -yo
C
with a wee yellow string?
The hope line was trembling
G
when he phoned the Kremlin
C
to ask about Annie's yo -yo
Cos seeing a grade
G
with the greatest of speed,
Did you find a red yo -yo,
G
red yo -y o, red yo -yo?
Did you find a red yo -yo
C
where we have a string?
In Peking and Paris,
C
the people they searched high and low
Till finally Annie announced
G
that Uncle Annie had got
And it was a red yo -yo,
And it was a red yo -yo
C
where we all lost right you
Wie hat dir der Song gefallen?
