Hi! I'm looking for a song by a Newfoundland group called Buddy Waesname and the Other Fellows.

The chorus goes:
Glory, Helaulia don't that put the screws right through ya
The governent and the wife drove me insane
The wife wanted a patio and the old outhouse it had to go
For the governement likes to keep all crap contained

Don't let them fool you, they are actually quite a talented group

They are quite often featured on the C.B.C.'s Madly Off in All Directions on Sunday afternoons. You might be able to get more info on them and the song if you

I saw Buddy Wasisname et al a few years ago. These guys are hilarious. Here are the lyrics for "Glory Be" from "Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers Songbook 1" available online through the link posted by Michael K. I note that songbook 2 is now available ... I going to have to get it.

GLORY BE
Kevin Blackmore
Copyright 1990: Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers

Chorus:
Glory, Hallelujah, don't they put the screws right to ya?
The governent and the wife drove me insane!
The wife wanted a patio, and the old outhouse it had to go,
For the government likes to keep all crap contained!

So I commenced the excavation, blew my garden to damnation,
Put a crater where my veggies grew!
No more turnips and potatoes, good-bye scarecrows, picnic tables,
Good-bye plastic pink flamingoes too!
Soon a leeching field was added, folks around said I was mad,
For digging up all my fertile land;
And then I took a building fit with the patio lights and the barbeque pit
To please my wife who's got the upper hand.

Chorus ...

I addded on a brand-new crapper, drains and plugs and things that matter,
Percolating water through the lines;
A lot of cursed smell and racket and a mortgage in the high-class bracket,
Meaning I'll be poor for quite some time.
So here I sit a-bar-be-queing, wondering what the hell I'm doing,
(We've moved up in society, of course);
But I can't help and think we've strayed, it's more primitive in ways,
We cook outside, but now we crap indoors!

Chorus ...

Bob (from home hence the Guest moniker).
