1. So yes, let's think about tomorrow, lest this war we all ignore, For religion flies out the window, aye and reason out the door;No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Let the powers that be all see there's better songs to sing than this'.
...

Chorus:
We'll sing again, don't know where, don't know when,
Like a jackdaw or a hen, some brand-new day,
Keep screchin' on, till the bum notes all have gone

1. Ah cannae mind juist when it started, maybe - 59,
Yir teachers ei yased surnames, and that for me was fine,

1. Just think of all the houses we've all seen come and go.Lancaster, Plantagenets, Tudor, Stuarts & co; But now along with the house of lords another fills the role, Alas the ‘House of Hangover' put millions on the dole.
...

1. Progress is a fine thing, but it sometimes goes too far,
Get out there and see the world, but not from in your car.
Don't be a couch potato, switch off that T. V.
Go take a hike or get on your bike,

1, A bottle o’ rum is just enough tae get me oot o’ bed,
A bottle o’ rum is just enough tae clear ma achin’ head,
It’s just enough tae gie ma een that lovely shade o’ red,
A bottle o’ rum is just enough tae get me oot o’ bed,
...

I bought ma wee mutt for a tenner. The ring it was nearly two gran’
She’ll empty ma purse if ah ken ‘er, Ah’m putty in her very han’,
But ma mucker informed me on Sunday, “Tell her Tam, who wears the trews”,
So ah plucked up the courage on Thursday, and thought ah wad gie her the news.
...

1. My mama done tol’ me, when I was just five,
“You don’t eat healthy, you don’t survive”,
She’d twist my ear sayin’, “One thing’s for cert,
Don’t eat your artichoke you, get no dessert”.

...

Ah juist get bamboozled wi' political ongangs,
They've aw got a justified cause;
But gi'e me the writers o' Scotia's sangs
An' ah dinnae care whae makes its laws.
...

1. We were sailing back fae Alexandria,
And the general mood enthusiastic,
That was soon tae alter as we neared Gibraltar,
We were ploughing through the shoals o' plastic.
...

Chorus
At the ‘Cat Dragged Inn',
At the ‘Cat Dragged Inn',
The Gardai mix with Gurriers at the ‘Cat Dragged Inn'.

1. So yes, let's think about tomorrow, lest this war we all ignore, For religion flies out the window, aye and reason out the door;No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Cause the folks in power ‘til this very hour can't save us from this mess.

2. Oh nature's laws are boundless, but alas mankind's are not,The rich for the rich and the poor for the poor, but cures cannot be bought, No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Cause the folks in power ‘til this very hour can't save us from this mess.

Cuddles, cuddles, cuddle's against the law,Can we naw prognosticate, a simple aye or naw?Blawin' smackers that's yer lot, Mauna cough nor fart nor sneeze, for fear ah micht be caught.
