Each month a pay ma cooncil tax
Jist tae keep oor standards high
For roads and parks and bins and things
And eh?……a trip to Dubai?!
An investment in golf I hear them say
bringin' rich gowfers tae the toon!
Don't worry 'boot fixing Dalmillin' course
They say…Jist shut it doon!
Shuttin' doon the swimmin' pools
it fills us fu' o' woe
and the shutting of Pet's Corner
It just makes oor anger grow.
A trip across the world is fine
When the cost's from yer ain purse
But whit'll foreigners think if they come
Tae a toon that's getting' worse.
The shops are shut and boarded up
Their windaes fu' o' posters
The Cooncil says it's dain' it's best
But they're a bunch o' roasters!
A letter fae a gent in Troon
Suggests we shut the Gaiety
In order he gets a Hole in One?
The response to that is weighty!
Noo we're a' allowed tae hae opinion
Bring foreign folks for social union
But whit o'a' the folk at hame
Wha' cannae swim or play a game?
Oor Rabbie wis the people's voice
He surely would be ragin'
to learn they hadnae had the chance
Their feelin's tae be stagin'!
So gaither a' yer weans and cronies
And meet at Wellington Square
It's oor only chance to state oor mind
Please make sure you're a' there.
