A’ve bin haen an e-mail natter
Wi a mannie fae the P&J
Aboot their lack o recogneetion
Fer the film aboot the Menie affray
Nae meention o it’s Scottish premiere
Fit wye? A thocht a wid speir
“You’ve Been Trumped” is a success
The P&J winna mak iss clear
Na Na, the chiel wisna haen iss
The paper hid scriven some spiel
On mony occasions said the mannie
He must think a’m bliddy feel !!
I syne askit plain an ti the pint
Dates please faan iss wis printed
The chiel widna say nae mair
So a didna git fit a wintit
Noo the craitur wis maist pit oot
Fer hintin they war Trumpie’s freen
Maybe if the mannie hid ‘s wye
A’d be run oot o Aiberdeen
A’ve aywis thocht a newspaper
Wis supposed ti report the news
Tho aboot “You’ve Been Trumped”
We’ll nivver read the P&J’s views
