SKYSCRAPER WEAN (THE JEELIE PIECE SONG)

I'm a skyscraper wean; I live on the nineteenth flair,
But I'm no' gaun oot tae play ony mair,
'Cause since we moved to Castlemilk, I'm wastin' away 
'Cause I'm getting wan meal less every day,

CHORUS

Oh ye cannae fling pieces oot a twenty storey flat,
Seven hundred hungry weans'll testify to that.
If it's butter, cheese or jeely, if the breid is pan or plain,
The odds against it reaching earth are ninety-nine tae wan.

On the first day ma maw flung oot a daud o' Hovis broon;
It came skytin' oot the windae and went up insteid o' doon.
Noo every twenty- seven hoors it comes back intae sight
'Cause ma piece went intae orbit and became a satellite.

CHORUS

On the second day ma maw flung me a piece oot wance again,
It went and hut the pilot in a fast low-flying plane.
He scraped it aff his goggles, shouting though the intercom,
"The Clydeside Reds huv goat me wi' a breid-an-jeely bomb."

CHORUS

On the third day ma maw thought she would try another throw
The Salvation Army band was staunin' doon below.
"Onward, Christian Soldiers" was the piece they should've pli
But the oompah man was playing a piece an' marmalade.

CHORUS

We've wrote away to Oxfam to try an' get some aid,
An' a' the weans in Castlemilk have formed a "Piece brigade.
We're gonnae march to George's Square demanding civil rights
Like, nae mair hooses ower piece-flinging height.

Sound Out The Pibroch

Wild Mountain Thyme (Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?)

An auld Scots saying for a "drink at the door" or ....."one for the road" as we say now.
Awbody kens the saying "it's a braw bricht moonlicht nich, the nicht"
This is where it originated

Jist A Wee Deoch an Doris

There's a good old Scottish custom that has stood the test o'time,
It's a custom that's been carried out in every land and clime.
When brother Scots are gathered, it's aye the usual thing,
Just before we say good night, we fill our cups and sing...

Chorus
Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch an doris afore ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say, "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht",
Then yer a'richt, ye ken.

Now I like a man that is a man; a man that's straight and fair.
The kind of man that will and can, in all things do his share.
Och, I like a man a jolly man, the kind of man, you know,
The chap that slaps your back and says, "Jock, just before ye go..."

Chorus
Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch an doris afore ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say, "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht",
Then yer a'richt, ye ken.

Jist A Wee Deoch 'n' Doris ( It's A Braw Bricht Moonlicht Nicht The Nicht)

A Traditional Rabbie Burns tune wi' Ra Tin set aboot it
Aye. Rock yer kilt!


The Deil's awa wi' Exciseman

The deil cam fiddlin' thro' the town, 
And danc'd awa wi' th' Exciseman; 
And ilka wife cries,  Auld Mahoun, 
I wish you luck o' the prize, man.

The deil's awa the deil's awa, 
The deil's awa wi' the Exciseman, 
He's danc'd awa he's danc'd awa 
He's danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman. 

We'll mak our maut, and we'll brew our drink, 
We'll laugh, sing, and rejoice, man; 
And mony braw thanks to the meikle black deil, 
That danc'd awa wi' th' Exciseman. 

The deil's awa the deil's awa, 
The deil's awa wi' the Exciseman, 
He's danc'd awa he's danc'd awa 
He's danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman. 

There's threesome reels, there's foursome reels, 
There's hornpipes and strathspeys, man, 
But the ae best dance ere came to the Land 
Was, the deil's awa wi' the Exciseman. 

The deil's awa the deil's awa , 
The deil's awa wi' the Exciseman, 
He's danc'd awa he's danc'd awa  
He's danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman.
