SAM THE SKULL

Chorus
I'm a cat, I'm a cat, I'm a Glasgow cat
And my name is Sam the Skull
I've got paws in my claws like a crocodile's jaws
And a heid like a fermer's bull
I'm no the kind of cat that sat on the mat
Nor the kind that you gie a hug
I'm the kind of cat that strangled the rat
Or even the occasional dug.


Well roon aboot doon Shettleston way
They all know me by sight
'Here's the Skull, here's the Skull' you can hear them say
As I vanish intae the night
The polis stations roon oor way
Have bars on the windae sill
It's no tae keep the prisoners in
It's tae keep oot Sam the Skull

Chorus

Well one fine day no so long ago
They all had had their fill
They sent for the RSPCA
To come and catch the Skull
Naebody can get oot when he's roamin aboot
Chasin the weans up a close
_____ on the stairs, scratchin' his _____
An' sittin' there pickin' his nose

Chorus

Well oot came the men aboot half past two
In their wee blue Escort van
Right roon the back, wan had a sack
An' the other had a mallet in his han'
I watched them run roon the back o' the hoose
Then I casually strolled tae the van
I jumped in the seat an' I was aff
Everything had gone to plan.

You can hear them say doon Shettleston way
Whatever happened to Sam the Skull
He had paws in his claws like a crocodile's jaws
An' a heid like a fermer's bull
You can tell them from me
I'm still roamin' free
Never a day is dull
It might sound absurd,
but I'm livin' wi' a burd
In a single end in Maryhill.

Chorus
