| The roddies in oor toon Are in an affa kirn Potholes aa ower the place Street surfaces nae aat firm . Potholies o a descripshun Fae kypies tae big craters Gettin fowk aa weel vexed Be they teachers or roof slaters . The cooncil is cash strappit O iss we ken richt weel Iss is nae consolation Tae a bodie wi a connach’t wheel . Noo some potholes richt aneuch Hiv bin patched bi the “tarry gang” Bit wi bad wither an the traffic Iss disna laist ower lang . The potholes are a menace Wi aa the trouble they bring Be it a puncture o a tyre Or much worse – a broken spring |
Siller fer the Aiberdeen bypass It seems cooncillors can trot oot Yet lots o toonsers winna benefit Jist the fowk fae oot aboot . The ceetizens o Aiberdeen are telt The 21st ceentury we maan embrace Yet the potholes in oor toon Hiv geen cooncillors a richt reid face . Lits aa noo jist hae a think Aboot roddies aa ower the city Spen some o the AWPR bawbees On potholes fit are richt shitty . So cooncillors sit doon an think O the troubles potholes cause Dinna pit iss aff nae mair Grab the problem bi the ba’s . O coorse there cwid be Anither wye fit is best Jist cut doon on car usage An the roads micht langer laist |
