ye're nae bloody eese tae me
ye winna come an mak
ma mither's tea
a stuck up little mannie
bawkin oot yer words o Love
for God's sake, come doon tae earth
an wear the oven glove
fit wye is this, Messiah,
that I maun lose ma life
carin for ma mither
fan ma brither's got - a wife?
if ye'd come roon on Sunday
gie me a helpin hand
one shot o handlin the commode
an you wid understand
ma life is juist a constant roon
o meals and bloody peels
if the hand o God is in this, Christ,
it's a mystery nae revealed
