lyrics

Proud tae be a brigger

Chorus
Proud tae be a brigger
Wi a polka dotted necker
Tied aroon the neck
Held wi a sturdy Siemen’s ring
‘Ployed tae build a mighty brigg
tae span a mighty river
plate and rivet she will climb
tae tak the biggest trains

Verse 1
We gae ‘lang tae Edinburgh
Tae see the great big city
Swagger roon’ an’ hae a few an’ mak’ a lively din
Turn a few heids in the street
An’ munny a lassie pretty
Wad be linket on oor erm tae mak’ the day complete

Chorus

Verse 2
Danger we git used tae it
We nivur think aboot it
Confident in oor ain skills we dae a tidy job
Danger lurks and taks us oot
When we wad least expect it
But we look oot fur oorsels
And ain anither tae

Chorus
