Courtin’ In a Mini Car


Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh

I had a Mini Minor in 1969,
A little Mini Minor I was so glad that she was mine.
I had a little girlfriend with the skirt above her knee,
I loved me Mini Minor and me girlfriend she loved me.

Chorus

Did ye ever try ta court a woman in a little mini car.
I tried ta court me girlfriend but I didn’t get to far.
Sure I tried ta do, what I shouldn’t do and I couldn’t do a’tall.
‘Cos the inside of me mini car, was far to bleady small.

We went to all the marquees, the ballrooms and the pubs.
We went to all the field days, in all the football clubs.
We went up and down the mountain, sure we travelled near and far.
And we done it all together, in me little mini car.

Chorus

Did ye ever try ta court a woman in a little mini car.
Sure I tried ta do what I shouldn’t do and I couldn’t do a’tall.
‘Cos the inside of me mini car was far to bleady small.

On our way home from the marquees, we parked beside a gate.
Then I tried ta coux me girlfriend into the auld back seat.
Then we tried to do what we shouldn’t do and we couldn’t do a’tall.
‘Cos the inside of me mini car was far to bleedy small.

Chorus

Did ye ever try ta court a woman in a little mini car.
I tried ta court me girlfriend but I didn’t get to far.
Sure I tried ta do what I shouldn’t do and I couldn’t do a’tall.
‘Cos the inside of me mini car was far to bleady small.
And we couldn’t do what we shouldn’t do in the mini car a’tall.
