Alang Cam A Boaby
Encounter with Boaby: A Tale of Unexpected Turns
Lyrics
I were were ridin’ by the White Cart, A favourite o’ mine,
I was riding by the White Cart, a favorite of mine.
I were happy and ma business were mine alane tae mind,
I was happy, and my business was mine alone to mind.
About tae tan a couple o’ cans & leave the world behind,
About to have a couple of drinks and leave the world behind.
When alang cam a Boaby, yak de yaldy daa..
When along came a Boaby, talking loudly and boldly.
He were ‘HAW, STOP! Who are you y’fucker?’ and the rest,
He said, 'HAW, STOP! Who are you, you fellow?' and more.
And he’s pointed tae the shiny badge he’d pinned upon his chest,
Pointed to the shiny badge on his chest, showing authority.
A dirty trotter pointin’ east the other lookin’ west,
A dirty officer pointing one way and looking another.
A fat wee Boaby, yak de yaldy daa..
A chubby Boaby, talking loudly and boldly.
Aw Boaby is it lost ye are? and no fed up I hope?
Boaby, are you lost? I hope you're not fed up.
Nae weans left tae batter or nae lassies for tae grope,
No children to bother or no girls to harass.
Nae gammy up the calton for a baggie fu’ ae dope?
No trouble in the Calton for a bag full of drugs?
Sick wee Boaby, yak de yaldy daa..
Poor Boaby, talking loudly and boldly.
He’s ca't me aw the bastarts, spittin’ in ma face,
He cursed me, spat in my face, a disrespectful act.
He’s gone for aw his thingmy-jigs his zappers and his mace,
He went for all his gadgets, his weapons, and his mace.
He's hi-de-ho’d his radio a squealin for his mates,
Activated his radio, calling for his mates in haste.
A feart wee Boaby, yak de yaldy daa..
A frightened Boaby, talking loudly and boldly.
Ya pervy little porky bit, i’ll pull ye doon a peg,
You cheeky little liar, I'll put you down a notch.
Now get tae ‘fore I slap ye on a roll wi’ beans & egg,
Now go away before I hit you on a roll with beans and egg.
The likes o’ you are overdue a kick aboot yer neck,
People like you are overdue for a kick around the neck.
Yak de oh laldy da
Talking loudly and boldly, expressing frustration.
