lyrics

A’ doonhill tae Dundee

Verse 1
In twenty o two the Tay FM crew
Thought they’d come up wi a slogan or two
Cause they needed something new
Dundee foulk come up wi whit wiz bold and true
Tae propel Dundee forward past two thousand and two

Chorus 1
So it’s a’ doonhill tae Dundee
But it’s nae bather ata’
If ye’ve got good ligs ye can climb the Law
See baith bridges lookin’ afa bra’
Except if yer turnin’ left
And ye end up ga’n’ tae Perth
Ye’ll be on the level a’ the wie
Cause Perth’s aye got tae be different

Verse 2
The good and the great were no pleased by this
And they thought maybe someb’dy was taking the mick
Didn’y want Dundee bein‘ a sad case
Could have been in a far worse place
If they’d chosen tae go fur Bridgie Mc Bridgeface

Chorus 2
So it’s a’ doonhill tae Dundee
But it’s nae bather ata’
If ye’ve got gid ligs ye can climb the Hill
Hae a pint in the Bowzer if yer breathin’ still
Except if ye gang up the coast
And ye end up in Arbroath
A’ ye’ll see is fields fulla’ workin’ chiels
And oh dinna come back withoot the smokies

Chorus 3
So it’s a’ doonhill tae Dundee
But it’s nae bather ata’
If ye’ve got gid ligs ye can gae tae Lochee
Get a book oot o’ the library
Except if ye gang the wrang wie
And end up in the Tiy
That would be no good
Put you in a bad mood
Because the water’s very cold
