Scotland Has To Be Seen " Beatlemania "

In the countryside in bloom adorn
Beautiful scenery for all to see
The sun shines down, its full of life
Different shades of different greens


Through the glens our trips begun
So many sights that have to be seen
Feel the passion of hearts so brave
This land called Alba, peacefully serene


    The land of the Scots, is the best place in the world
    Best place in the world, best place in the world
    The land of the Scots, is the best place in the world
    Best place in the world, best place in the world


So come and see our beauty hoard
So many sights for you to explore
Different vistas, makes us say


    The land of the Scots, is the best place in the world
    Best place in the world, best place in the world
    The land of the Scots, is the best place in the world
    Best place in the world, best place in the world


To live and die in the Highlands breeze
A world apart a different breed
We are the Scots, no in between
So please visit Alba, it has to be seen


    The land of the Scots, is the best place in the world
    Best place in the world, best place in the world
    The land of the Scots, is the best place in the world
    Best place in the world, best place in the world



My entry into John Heck's " BEATLEMANIA SING-ALONG contest "
         please sing-along to the tune of Yellow Submarine

Wonderful entry James.. should win without question... I was going to use Yellow Submarine but I like She Loves You better... so I went with that one... this was so fun... as far as Ron being my Don Juan.. it would be great if he were not attached already... so its my dilemma and I am caught in a catch 22 at this point.. if u read between the lines of that poem u will see what I mean... thankxxx for your comments on my poetry too.. off to the court again this week... hihohiho.. luv..

I am honored to be the first to comment on this exquisite poem, James! I think you should gift it to your Department of Tourism to include in one of their brochures. It's an awesome tribute to your Bonnie Scotland! You've done her proud!! Great job! I wish you good luck in John's "Beatlemania Song" Contest! Peace, Audrey
