Why mate?
Why dae ye dae it?
Ye must be mad!
Listen tae them!

“Send him aff noo, an’ I‘ll pey his taxi
Or else just stick that whistle, right up your jacksie!”
“You’re a scumbag!” “Ya ratbag” “Ya effen balloon!”
“You’ll get whit’s comin ’and it’ll be soon!”

Why mate?
Why dae ye dae it?
Ye must be mad!
Listen tae them!

“You’re a chancer, a dick, a first class prick”
“You’re a Mason! “Durty Fenian!” ”You make me sick!”
“You’re an’ eedgit!” “Ya bloody big cheat!”
“That mob faw doon an’ you kiss their feet!”

Why mate?
Why dae ye dae it?
Ye must be mad!
Listen tae them!

“Haw you bawheed, you’d better watch oot
An’ no try an’ hide, your old orange flute!”
“We aw know ye go tae chapel on Sunday
Just pray there you get, a decision right wan day!”

So here’s tae the brave man in black.
Who runs up and doon
An’ forward an’ back.
Of critics and detractors, he’ll never be free
An’ I’ll tell you this noo
IT WOULDNAE BE ME!
