McQuiddity for bassoon and guitar

Description

Intrumental version of my song inspired by this poem by Mary Holtby (by way of a parody on TS Eliot’s “Macavity the mystery cat”).

McQuiddity is a playfully naughty and very funny dog:

McQuiddity, McQuiddity, there’s no-one like McQuiddity
His errors are so vulgar and so coarse in their solidity
You may walk along the pavement
You may step upon the stair
It’s odorously evident McQuiddity’s been there

McQuiddity, McQuiddity, there’s no-one like McQuiddity
He doesn’t know the meaning of decorum or timidity
He barks at friends and neighbours
and will give the boss a scare
But when burglars cart the silver off, he doesn’t turn a hair

If you stagger through a doorway
With an overloaded tray
You can bet that old McQuiddity’s lying in the way
If the chocolates vanish overnight
or gloves vacate a chair
Then it’s absolutely certain that McQuiddity’s been there.

McQuiddity, McQuiddity, there’s no-one like McQuiddity
He’s totally unrivalled in the depth of his stupidity
His canine infelicities no cretin could surpass
He’s undisputed champion of the disobedience class
McQuiddity!
