about

A jolly eulogy for Joshi enterprises, a local stock-everything shop, which closed suddenly to everyone's great regret. Naturally, dedicated to the Joshi Family.

lyrics

Once upon a time in Midlothian: Gorebridge or Hunterfield.
You never can tell 'cause the geography's hell. It's a postie's battlefield.
There was a small shopping centre. Two or three shops maybe more.
The builders arrived and it came alive as Mister Joshi's store.

Oh, Mister Joshi! What are we gonna do?
For all those years, you've been the hub. we have relied on you.
Oh, Mister Joshi. Whatever you're gonna do
We hope it leads to whatever is good. s we wish well to you.

Most days there's Tommy and Jimmy and Neil, the other Jimmy and oor Annie
in Joshi's social centre. They even provide the tea.
There's many things we'll miss: the chat, the battles wi' the fridge,
but the thing we'll miss most is Tommy our host: the worst jokes in Gorebridge!

It's inspirational, educational, a local university,
for Jim in a heap in the corner asleep is a fount of history.
For culture and entertainment, now it's all bye-bye
It's the end of the song and soon will be gone our local U. C. I.
