Noo ah'm a working gent, ah live in a tenement
In the heart of one o' Glasgows biggest slums.
But they're going tae improve, and so we've been telt tae move
By those mansion-dwelling corporation bums

(chorus)

Oh, they're pullin' doon the buildin' next tae oors.
An' they're sending us tae green belts trees and flooers.
But we do not want tae go, an' we dailly tell them so
While they're pullin' doon the building next tae oors.
