Thanks Suannne, you German gem you! Here's another Glasgow "street song" from that era, nothing to do with gangs tho:

Last night there was a murder in the chip shop,
When a wee dug stole a haddie bone,
An' a big dug tried tae take it aff it,
So I hit it wi a tattie scone.

I went roon tae see ma Auntie Sarah,
Ma Auntie Sarah wisnae in,
So I peeped through a hole in the windae,
An I shouted "Auntie Sarah, are ye in"?

Her false teeth were lying on the table,
Her curly wig was lying on the bed,
An I nearly burst ma sides wi laughin,
When I saw her screwin aff her widden leg!

That's all I can recall, funtunately!
