I'm goin tae tell a story aboot a gig we did
da folk at flints asked wiz tae play so we towt we miby wid
dae'd organised dis grand affair in aid o charity
wee da money goin tae a worthy cause it seemed worthwhile tae me
so we loadid up da vehicles wee amps an instruments
an set aff intae da toon bound fur captain flints
but on dis windy friday night da scotty boats wir in
an wee da boys hivin nithin else tae do wir takin twartree tins
whin we finaly got tae flints it lookit braaly foo
wee fishermen fae peterhead, banff an buckie too
wee yun mony scotty boys you cood nearly guarantee
a fight or twa wid likley ruin wir peerie bit o spree
da folk at flints hid organised a raffle an some games
whar you'd pay a pound tae git a chance tae guess da parrots name
so I got me raffle lines an den set up da gair
an jamie got a roond in tae me dat did seem fair
whin we finally started boy whit a spree we hid
wee people jiggin in dir seats da wie you hoop dae wid
but it wizna leng afore twa boys cam rummlin doon da stair
wan o dim pickit up a bottle da idir got a chair
da fight went ragin on a start but we didna stop da tune
an da news o dis oncarry shun got across da toon
be noo da police wir in dir car an quickly on dir wie
just in time fur wiz tae start da fields o athenry
it wizna leng afore da fight wiz ootside in da street
as far as entertainment goes wee dat you canna compete
a muckle crood o folk hid geen furt tae watch da fight
whin fae da windoo I cood see da blue flashin lights
whin we stoppit fur a brak I went tae see da miss
wee brokin glass an pool cues strewn aa aboot da place
wee dis oncarry da raffle wiz runnin late
so whin it finally started dir wiz lots o empty seats
whin da raffle feeneeshed da prizes lay unclaimed
an we nivir got a chance tae hear yun parrots name
da police ir tryin tae fin oot whits fact or speculation
so dae took da parrots name tae help dir investigation
