The Can o' Tea
Matt McGinn

CHORUS: Noo the champagne flows, the wineglass glows
The shipyard gates'll have tae close
They say it's a' because o' me
And I cannae hae my can o' tea
Doo ri amaday, my can o' tea

For forty years, and fourteen mair,
The men that worked wi' Donald Blair
They've aye had a middle o' the mornin' plan
To stop at ten, to bile their can

But Donald he was awfu' wise
Although he always closed his eyes
He never ever gied us leave
So he'd have a trump card up his sleeve

This mornin' Donald came tae me
He pointed tae my can o' tea
Then he let oot an awfu' roar
He says, young man, get oot that door

But the men said I'd been victimised
For the union a' had organised
So when I laid doon my can o' tea
A thoosand men marched oot wi' me
