Take a big chunk of Glesca ma toon by the clyde
Add a single end in the slum wi the people inside
Some clabber and middens wi laughter and pain
Then some splashing in puddles jist efter the rain
Add watching & listening, taking awe in
Enter the pools jist hoping yi’ll win
Add peevers – peeries – tarry baws oan a string
Wi seturday night parties where they forced yi tae sing
Add a big jam piece drapped frae a height
And feel safe and secure by day and by night
Add the school furr yer reading and learning the sums
Wi the best teacher the street and the folk in the slums
Add grannies & grandas wi uncles and aunts
Maw and Da scrimping for all of yer wants
Mould them all together as you would with clay
The result you will find is the man I am today
