They've dug oor roads up ance again Wi diggers great an sma man Dug pathways slabs, an even foundations It's no very nice at a' man. They've flashin lights, an traffic bats Tae slow an stop us a' man They've yellow jackets, an some wi hats So they can tell, whas wha man. They've great thick slabs, for holy pads The rest is done wi tar man Manholes an drains, get covered wi stanes An happed up weel, wi tar man. An noo ance rnair, they've ah descended McDonald's force, an AJ man The spot they've attended, last week was mended Confusion, tae them an a' man. There the greatest squad, tae dae the job The best in the west, ave a' man They look at the Lan, an follow the plan Made by the collar an tie man. They tak oot their levels, an bend ower the bevals Tae see if it's richt, or wrang rnan An if ah be gan, akennan wrang Jest send for the, collar an tie man. Shopkeepers distress, at a' this mess Hoteliers are drammin awa man The biggest concern, should be auld folk yea ken For stumbling unlevel, or fa man.
