Greedy burds!
I rap th' window,
Say bad words.
Their ugly beaks
Gie me the boak,
Gaun - eat up -
I hope ye choke!
I'll see tae speughs
An robin's need.
Blackbird and chaffinch
Can eat the breid.
Blue tits, thrushes,
Wagtails - rerr,
But peckin starlings -
Get outta there!
So whit, they're feathered,
Fine and braw.
I canny werr them,
Not at aw!
George Square's yer hame,
You'll fly it in wan.
Away ye go
An bile yer can.
