(Anon)
Oh but I will sit here! - No but you'll no sit here!
Oh but I will! - No but you'll no!
Oh but I will sit here!
It was doon at Ardnadam, sitting on the pier
When I heard the polis shout, You'll no sit here
There was Chief Inspector Runcie enhancing his career
Prancing up and doon the road like Yogi Bear
He sent for help tae Glesga, they nearly chowed his ear
We've got the 'Gers and Celtic demonstrators here
He telephoned the sodgers, he didnae mak' it clear
The sodgers sent doon Andy Stewart tae volunteer
He telephoned the White House, but a' that he could hear
Was, Twa, one, zero - and the line went queer
'Cos' Jack had dropped the H-bomb and he gie'd hissel' a shroud
And he met wi' Billy Graham on a wee white cloud
Last chorus:
Oh but I will sit here! - No but you'll no sit here!
Oh but I will! - No but you'll no!
Oh but I have sat here!
(as sung on the show 'The Glasgow Eskimos', Glasgow Folk Festival 1994)
