lyrics

Dear Mick
Verse 1
Born intae Lochee back in 1952
A very good year for the profession
Destiny picked him oot as one honest and true
Sent doon tae teach us a’ a lesson
A man that was taller than his height in feet and inches
He let us see there’s mair tae life than bein’ a bunch o’ grinches
Seeing the bigger picture through an artist’s eye
Mick taught us how to take wings and fly

Chorus
Dear Mick we miss you so
Wi’ yer stories frae the heart and yer sangs frae the soul
Ye telt it how it wiz right aff the wall
You put Dundee intae Africa and a Princess by the coal

Verse 2
Tried oot the pop star stuff but it was never him
He did’nae hae the gift tae be that shallow
So the lad frae Lochee turned aroond and came back home (him)
He kent it was his heart he had to follow
Some dae words and some dae tunes but the ither’s a leap o’ faith
Mick had a’ the tricks there wiz ‘and he could dae them baith
Now when there’s new folk in St. Peter reads a statement
“We’ve now got Michael Marra on entertainment”
