Joe, as promised.

THE SCOTTISH MP
Words: Jim McLean Tune: Off to Dublin in the Green (The Merry Ploughboy)


I am a Scottish MP
From a city grey and black
So I'll shut my mouth when I'm in the South
Just in case they send me back.

Now some folk work for Labour,
And some for the Tory class,
But I work like hell for me my sel(f)
And the rest can kiss my kilt.

CHORUS:
        For I'm off to London in the morn, in the morn,
        In Westminster I will be,
        And I'll leave behind my brains and mind,
        And try for an MBE.

Oh Scotland, dearest Scotland,
You have given me your trust,
And if I make the grade to the Board of Trade,
Just guess who I'll trade first?

I'll trade the Lowlands for a peerage,
Give me an earldom for the Isles
And the whole damn lot can be easily bought
With one of Lizzie's smiles.

CHORUS:

I am a Scots Home-Ruler
At my English Queen's command,
For my real birthright is to be a knight
And the rest can be republicans.

So come Grimmond, Home and Ramsey-Mac,
Our Scottish Englishmen,
Nationality for a Scots MP
Means tea at number ten.

CHORUS:

Joe, there are so many people on the film, it would take too long to name them all. Suffice to say they are Scottish MPs although the Speaker of the House of Commons was forced to resign over the question of defrauding the people in the expenses scandal., which seems to be the motivation behind this video.
The song was included in a selection I wrote in the build up to the election in Hamilton in 1967 which was won by the Scottish Nationalist candidate Winnie Ewing who wrote me afterwards to say that the LP helped her cause. See here: The Balladeer
I had to go to England to get the album recorded as it was considered too 'controversial' by Scottish record companies at that time. Some of my earlier songs were included on an LP called Ding Dong Dollar (Anti Polaris and Scottish Republican Songs) which, again, was produced outside Scotland by Pete Seeger for the Folkways label.

NOTES:
(Joseph) Grimmond was the leader of the Liberal Party,

Ramsey MacDonald was a Scottish leador of the Labour Party but formed a National Government in which a majority of MPs were from the Conservatives (Tory) party and as a result, was expelled from the Labour Party, which accused him of 'betrayal'.

(Alexander Frederick Douglas-Home) Home (pronounced Hume) was a Conservative Prime Minister.

"Lizzie" is the present Queen Elizabeth.

Snail, the answer to you posting is in the last verse.
