in a lovely brown trout pool
or taking the weans to school?
Are you building a fire
or building a den? Are you havin'
trouble payin' your rent,
are you livin' in a caravan
outside the Scottish Parliament?
Buffalo Bill was in Dennistoun
inside the tent with the Sioux,
and it's a Wild West Show for you
