[Verse 1]
CThere’s an easy place down Gallowgate to the GEast End of Glasgow
CIt’s a ballroom of remembrance and a Gdisco
FWhere the shooting stars light up the fCresco
FWhere the last ones and the lovers Cgo … to Gcarry on
CWe sang about the Nicky Tams in the back Groom of the Scotia
CWe drank sweet wines and called for neon Gpints of Fidel Castro
FTill it was time to fly to dCreamland
AmOut of Bairds, up the stairs to hCell or to heaven we’d goG  
[Chorus]
Come all you Cdreamers hear the sound of the FBarrows humming
Come all you Cdreamers to BarG7rowland
Hear Mags McICvor and the ghost of the GFayBirds calling
Come all you Cdreamers to BarrowlG7and
[Verse 2]
CThe Lassies of the Broomielaw in their CGuban Heels are dancing
CHere comes Our Lady of the Clyde and theGre goes Jinky Johnston
FThey’ve come back to rock and roll in the Cchurch of Gceilidh
FTo waltz beneath the carousel Cof healGing
AmTo jitterbug and boogCie the night awGay

Come all you Cdreamers hear the sound of the FBarrows humming
Come all you Cdreamers to BarG7rowland
Hear Mags McICvor and the ghost of the GFayBirds calling
