I’d a boss, his name was Broon
The nicest fel­la in Glesca toon
Except for keepiny your wages doon
Afore we joined the union

Cho­rus:
Too-ra-la-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo
I’ll tell ye some­thing awfy true
Ye wid­nae hae yer tel­ly the noo
If it wis­nae for the union

I’d a boss his name was Black
He tellt me I could call him Jack
He was hel­lu­va good at gi’in the sack
Afore we joined the union

Men and women lis­ten tae me
It’s time to rise up aff yer knees
So raise the flag to unity
An for­ward wi the union
