Alastair Mcdonald - The Barras Lyrics

There's a spot in Glesga city that's weeken't the hale

World ow'r

It's mar famous than the Mona Lisa's face It is stated by royalty an rascals by the score
Everybody knows the Barras is the place

Did ye know St Peter lost the key o yon big pearly gate He was fear't thit he'd git flung oot of a job

Till a fly we Olenge angel said, "Acht, Peter, dinnae greet Ye can buy one at the Barras for a bob

Chorus

Oh, the Barras, oh, the Barras, that no in Rome or Paris Yejist huv toe go to Glesga's Gallowgate

They sell tickets the the moon, a return fur hauf a croon An five bob guarantees a first class sate

New weken how Samsonlost his strength-Delish cut his

Hair

He was left as weak an bade as a wain

So he fitted ow' tae Glesga, tae the Barras tur a cure An he soon was strang an heery wance again

When the Romans came tae Scotland, many donkeys years
Ago

They got nan further than the Gallowgate

For the lads that run the Barras swapp'd them souvenirs for

Swords

Then the fly wee Glasga keelies had them bate

Chorus

Oh the Barras, oh, the Barras, thu'r no in Rome or Paris
Yeast hur tae go to Glesça's Gallowgate They sell tickets the the moon, a return fur hauf a croon An five bob guarantees a first class sate

Noo wan day a Frenchman noticed that the Eiffel Tower Wis gone
The president when notified grew pale
So he caa'd oot aa his gendarmes an they searched the
Hale world ow'r
An they fun'it at the Barras up for sale

So before close my story, wull gie ye some advice If ye're efter something cheap or second-hand

Take a trip up tae the Barras, for there's nothin can Compare

Wi' the stuff they sell in Glesga's Barraland
Chorus

Oh, the Barras, oh, the Barras, thu'r no in Rome or Paris Ye jist huv tae go to Glesga's Gallowgate They sell tickets tae the moon, a return fur hauf-a-croon An five bob guarantees a first class sate
