"The Isle of Man" is a song written by George Formby, Harry Gifford and Frederick E. Cliffe.[1] It was recorded by Formby on 28 November 1935 for Regal Zonophone Records. It was released with “Riding in the TT Races", both of them songs from the Isle of Man-set Ealing Studios comedy film No Limit which had been Formby's breakthrough screen role.

The song is typical of Formby's innuendo-laden style, telling a tale of women holidaying on the Isle of Man seeking romance only to find that, to their disappointment, their appears to be an absence of available men – in spite of the name of the island.
