INVERARAY PATHS AND ROADS
It carne to notice, efter 200 years
That road foundations, were causin fears
An "Hauf" was chosen as a local buddy
As makin roads is a qualified study.
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.
There's trucks an dumpers an noisy thumpers
Morning sleeps, a thing oh the past man
But it's little to pay, at the end oh the day
lt'll be tidy, an safe, for us a' man
It's little to pay, at the end of the day
It'll be tidy, an safe for us a' man.
