Glasgow Town

I was born in Glesgaetoon, a rough and tumbley toon
They fairly pit the whisky doon in rough and tumbley toon
My granny she slept in a wa' in rough and tumbley toon
Her tattooed earrings made my ma' in rough and tumbley toon

My faither he had oily breath in rough and tumbley toon
The factory sang the song of death in rough and tumbley toon
My mammy was the ballroom belle in rough and tumbley toon
My da' you know he danced as well in rough and tumbley toon
You'd see them doon the bar and land with frizzed and shiny hair
A buxom Ginger Rodgers and a skinny Fred Astaire

I was born in Glesgaetoon, a rough and tumbley toon
They fairly pit the whisky doon in rough and tumbley toon
My granny she slept in a wa' in rough and tumbley toon
Her tattooed earrings made my ma' in rough and tumbley toon

And this is where the dream was born
The great industrial dream
It's nae like some foul monster born
On the banks of Clyde's fair green
They fought for country, fought for king
They won the war, it's true
To see Germany and Japan
Well you wouldnae think it noo

I was born in Glesgaetoon, a rough and tumbley toon
They fairly pit the whisky doon in rough and tumbley toon
Mammy was the ballroom belle in rough and tumbley toon
You know my da' he danced as well in rough and tumbley toon
