lyrics

The GG Blues

Verse 1
You are the greatest orator around today
And it’s love or hate at the mention of George Galloway
You owned the US senate wi’ words full o’ floors
You see they’d never met a Lochee lad
Wi’ a mooth the size o’ your’s
But even though ye got the votes from Bradford city east
If ye come back tae Dundee George ye’d better haud yer wheesht

Chorus
Fasten up the button yer tongue can be cuttin’
Keep it buttoned George
Yer owr weel kent an’ yer no in Parliament
So keep it buttoned George

Refrain
Dinnae slag af Dundee George
Cause yer oot o yer depth an’ our yer heed
An’ If ye think ye can talk yer wie oot o’ this ane son
Well you’ll need to be very good indeed

Verse 2
Your desire to be a pussy cat and your nicotine habit
Can conspire tae mak ye look a wee bit wabbit
You could sink an entire navy with your broadside full
While never deviating from the original Mr Cool
But even though you can ballet dance on the political rung
If ye come back tae Dundee George ye’d better haud yer tongue

Chorus Refrain Chorus
