Monday Morning 6 |
|
A.M. the clock rings off the wall |
|
Now I'm standing tae attention in my bare feet in the hall |
|
Wi' one leg doon my troosers |
|
I can find nae socks at all |
|
But I'm a coiled spring of industry respondin' to your call. |
|
Monday Morning, why do you haunt me |
|
With your bells and factory whistles all around? |
|
Monday Morning, why do you taunt me? |
|
And I so tired |
|
I could sleep here on the ground. "Gie me something different please," |
|
I asked them at the |
|
Burro "On the board of some big company where I've no a thing to do Or let me try Insider Tradin', I'd be equal tae the task, For I'm slowly bein' murdered by the piece bag and the flask." |

|
The bloke behind the counter said, "You must be off your heid" |
|
And he swore he'd phone the polis if |
|
I did not leave wi' speed. |
|
It was there |
|
I read the notice pinned behind him on the wall |
|
That said: "Mak them thank their lucky stars they've ony job at all." |

|
Just come up here to |
|
Scotland you can pay us what you like |
|
Our needs are very simple and we're not allowed to strike |
|
And we all wear wee cloth bonnets, and we all say, "Help ma Boab!" |
|
And we'll all bend doon and kiss your doup and thank you for the job. |
