Lyrics by Gill Robertson
Music by Raff Eragona

lyrics

Named after her mother Jo Gyrate
or perhaps it was her brother Ron Rotate
or her cousin Fredrick Whirling
or her great, great aunt Mae Swirling
she’s the wheeliest wheeler that you know

You must be feeling dizzy from all that spinning round and round
but Miss W please slow down now, feet firmly on the ground
and even if your stabilizers are wobbly and loose, Miss Wheels you’re the finest and that’s the truth

Catherine Wheels oh Catherine Wheels
eating a Cumberland sausage with every meal
Coiled up like a cobra

Catherine Wheels oh Catherine wheels eating a Cumberland sausage with every meal

Or was she plain Miss Jones and married Johnny Wheels
who ran a tyre company in Dundee his dad
they wore rainbow overalls and only ever rollerskated everywhere
they never walked anywhere

Catherine wheels oh Catherine Wheels eating Cumberland sausages with every meal, coiled up like a cobra
