{Chorus: Repeat after Each Verse }
Too ra loo ra loo ra loo
I'll Tell yae Sumfin'awfa True:
Yae wouldnae Hae yer telly the New
If it wisnae fer the Union~
{ Verses }
I haid a Boss in Aberdeen
The Nicest Felleh ever aye've Seen
But I knae He Thought I was awfah Green
A'fore Aye Joined the Union~
A Pal 'o' Mine 'as Bought a Car
A second-Handed Jag-u-ar
But he'dae Nevehr travelled 'alf as far
If it Was'nae fer the Union~
I had a Boss called Alderdeiss
And he was really Helluva Nice
Except fer the Way 'E Loaded the Dice
A'fore we joined the Union~
I Had a La** in Inverness
And She were One 'o' the V'ry Bes
But we couldnae afoord a Wedd'n Dress
If it Was'nae fer the Union~
I had a Boss they Called Calhoun
The Nicest Fellah in Glasga Toon
'Cept fer kaipin' Yer Wages Doon
Afore Wae Joined the Union~
I had a Boss they Called 'Im Black
'E Told me Aye coul' Call 'Im Jack
'E wis Helluva Good at Givin' the Sack
A'fore we Joined the Union~
The Bosses They were doo'n Fine
They'd Wee Ones workin' Down in the Mine
And they'd Hae them on Ass'm'bly Lines
If it Was'nae fer the Union~
Man and Wom'n Liss'n tae Mae
It's Time to Raise oop Off yer Knee
So Raise the Flag 'o' Unity and
Forward w' The Union!!!
