A new player on the scene
His thrown the gauntlet doon
The weel kent face o Jimmy Milne
A local north east loon
Ti keep the gairdens bonnie
He’ll cum up wi some dough
If the citizens o Aiberdeen
Vote the Granite Web a no
Oh michty me oh fit a flap
City Gairdens Trust fair pit oot
O coorse they jist resorted
Ti pittin in the boot
Jim Milne he’s noo bein accused
O gettin the wrang eyn o the stick
Oor Stewartie’s jumpin up an doon
Like some puir demented prick
|
We micht bi seen Stewartie says
As a toonie wi nae desire
A place fits lacking ambition
A city fair left in the mire
Noo is ess nae jist scaremongerin?
Like fit FoUTG hiv bin accused
We aa ken fit yer tryin Stewart
Yer ploy we’ve aa jaloused.
Hats aff ti Jim Milne an his freens
Fer helpin in the ’oor o need
In the myns o aa the dooters
Ye’ll hae sown a positive seed
Time noo fowks ti aa staan up
Show the Granite Web the door
Vote ti retain oor bonnie gairdens
Wi Jimmy’s dosh we can aa score
