I think this one goes back to the late 50's or early 60's

THE BUILDINGS

There is a city gent he lives in a tenement
in the heart of one of Glasgaes biggest slums
But theyre gong to improve so weve been told to move
by those Mansion loving corporation bums

Ch:-While they're tearing down the building next to yours
And they're sending us to green field trees and floo-ers (flowers)
But we do not want to go and we daily tell them so
while they're tearing down the building next to yours

They say we'll realise our dream in a brand new housing scheme
and the air out there is always clear and sweet
But we'll stay where we are, think we're better off by far
wi' a pub on every corner o' the street

Well they ordered us to quit and James (i think) we had to flit
It took six removal vans to shift the load
we moved just yesterday but we're no si far away
As that building facing yours across the road

While theyre tearing down the building facing yours
and they're sending us to etc etc
