Thanks, Joe. Here's the rest: THE GLASGOW COUNCILLOR (Adam McNaughtan) 1. Ah'm mair workin class than whit you are. Ah wis brocht up in Parkheid. Ma Da wis a navvy; we'd nae inside lavvy. We ate coarn beef an dry breid. Now Ah live in a villa in Clarkston, But don't tell me Ah've selt the pass. The lavvy's still on the hauf-landin Cos Ah remain true tae ma class. 2. An Ah'm mair working class than whit you are. Ma claes they were aye secondhaun. On Monday at school Ah wis late as a rule. Ah'd tae wait tae get stuff oot the pawn. Noo ma shoes they are ninety quid Barkers. In ma wardrobe Ah've seventeen suits, But ye'll still find me wearin ma bonnet Cos Ah remain true tae ma roots. 3. Ah'm mair working class than whit you are. Ah left school when Ah wis fufteen, Stuck in at ma trade an ma progress was made Wi hard graft an wi keepin my nose clean. So now I'm Projections Director, Computing the company's goals. Well keyboard work is manual labour, So Ah am still wan o the proles. 4. Ah'm mair working class than whit you are. Twa cars an a yacht are nae crimes. Cos Ah thinks it's fair - in agreement wi Blair That the party should move wi the times. Ah'll always be wan o the workers. The reason Ah'll easy explain: As lang as Ah'm wan o the workers, They'll elect me again an again an again and again an again an again an again. (And a translation into plain English: 1. I'm more working class than you are I was brought up in Parkhead My father was a navvy an we'd no inside toilet We ate corned beef an dry bread Now I live in a villa in Clarkston But don't tell me I've sold the pass The toilet's still on the half-landing For I remain true to my class 2. An I'm more working class than you are My clothes they were always second hand On Monday at school I was late as a rule I'd to wait to get stuff out of the pawnshop Now my shoes they are ninety pound Barkers In my wardrobe I've got seventeen suits But you'll still find me wearing my cloth cap For I remain true to my roots 3. Oh I'm more working class than you are I left school when I was fifteen Stuck in at my trade an my progress was made With hard work and with keeping my nose clean So now I'm Projections Director Computing the company's goals Well keyboard work is manual labour So I remain one of the workers 4. An I'm more working class than you are Two cars and a yacht are no crimes For I think it's fair - in agreement with (Tony) Blair That the party should move with the times But I'll always be one of the workers The reason I'll easy explain As long as I'm one of the workers They'll elect me again and again and again and again and again and again and again)
