lyrics

The sma toon blues

Perth is a bonnie toon
And a great place tae visit
But ye’ll maybe better keep an eye oot
Cause if ye blink ye’ll miss it
Perth is a wi toon for its size
An’ I’m no tellin’ any lies
For sma’ness Perth will always win first prize
Cause it sits between twa inches

Perth is the type o’ toon
That belongs in Gulliver’s Travels
And it should be listed in the book
That contains the world’s marvels
Dundee’s ‘tween the Tay and the Law
Carnoustie’s whaur they hit the ba’
But Perth might as well no be there ata’
Cause it sits between twa inches


Perth would astonish you
With its ideal situation
And one would think it would get by
Wi a model railway station
But tae lift a toon like Eberdeen ye’d need a million winches
But Perth ye’d lift wi just one hand
‘Cause it sits between twa inches
