North East Nineties Rap

Tweedledee telt Tweedledum
Nae room for Scots in the curriculum
Shakespeare, Milton, a Rodin sculpture,
Great … bit gies a smachrie o the Scottish culture
Computin? Newton? Yer root-toot-tootin
At wird-processin we're high-falutin
Home Economics? It's a rave
We're aa hum-dingers wi a microwave

Dance an Drama … here we go
Reelin in a Doric video
Shell-suit, trainers, T-shirt, kickers
Sports bag clartit up wi trendy stickers

Chinos, Levis, Pepes, Lees
Project folders on the Pyrenees

Hubble, bubble, the ile brings double
The price o fish an wi half the trouble
Crisps, coke, Wimpy, we like faist food
Consumin aa the action in the neighbourhood

Fae Banchory, tae Buckie, tae San Franciso
We like tae pairty wi a roller-disco
Nineties, pine trees, deid wi acid rain
Waste-disposal dreepin doon the drain
We are the friens o the Green revolution
We're the generation stoppin the pollution

Play fair auldies … leave some spare
Save us a daud o the ozone layer.
