Every good protest needs a good protest song so here's my rendition

to the tune of "show me the way to amarillo"


When the day is dawning,
On a methil Saturday morning,
How I long to be there,
With Betty who’s waiting for me there

But on the mound,
Where the protest’s at,
Everybody’s saying,
That I’m a fucking twat

(chorus)
Betty says that I amaze her,
Every night when I’m wearing my blazer,
I need a bodyguard with a laser,
To keep the mob away from me

I can hear them yelling,
All the absolute lies that they’re telling
Surrounded by reporters,
Even though I’m fife’s biggest supporter

I close my eyes, start thinking,
And off to sleep I go,
Start dreaming of a chicken,
With a wheelbarrow

(chorus)
Betty says that I amaze her,
Every night when I’m wearing my blazer,
I need a bodyguard with a laser,
To keep the mob away from me


Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Please keep the mob away from me

Class!

Truly brilliant! Whilst we may not remember all the words, the chorus will certainly stick!

Hey, we could make up a protest songbook and present it to visiting supporters! A bit like going to the kirk and getting a hymn book!

I think it's time to open a "songbook" section on the blog so get the creative juices flowing folks. Hopefully we'll never need to sing them right enough, but you never know, a couple of years down the line Derrick will be back at Bayview as a Cowden hanger on

(To the tune of Popeye the sailor man)
