The Tartan Flying Saucer Song

On hearing that Bonnybridge is the UFO Capital of the world

Apologies to Woody Guthrie

Mony a month ha' cam and gane
Since I've tandered frae my hame
In thase highland braes
Whar I wa' born

Mony a page o' my life ha' turnit
Mony lessons I have learnit
An' I feel like in thase braes
Whar I belang

CHORUS:
Wa' doon yonder in the alien nation
Driving on the motorway reservation
In the highland braes whar I wa' born

Wa' doon yonder in the alien nation
UFO-watching wa' my occupation
In the Scoatish Braes whar I wa' born


But as I sit here toda'
Mony miles I am awa'
Frae the place I drave my Rover
Through the glen

Where UFOs flee o'er the trees
Making your puir goolies freeze
And I feel back in thase braes
Whar I belang

CHORUS

Noo here I am trying to wangle
A ticket to Falkirk's triangle
In thase highland braes
Whar I wa' born

Frae Bonnybridge upto the Ta'
Tartan saucers flee awa'
An' I feel like in thase braes
Whar I belang

CHORUS
