                  D                                                                    A

    by my “Don't blame me, I voted Tory” sticker on the boot,

              D                                                                 A

    my steering wheel is clad in simulated leopard-skin.

             D                                                                     A

    I weave aboot the road just so's ye cannae overtake.

              D                                                                A

                D                                                                          A

    it's because I'm on a stipend from the Scottish Tourist Board.

    for the simple fact that I'm a traffic warden through the week.

    I'm boostin' my efficiency, and here's my master plan :
