[Intro]
D
[CHORUS]
DOh ye cannae fling pieces oot a twAenty storey flat,
Seven hundred hungry weans'll Dtestify, to that.
If it's Gbutter, cheese or jeely, if the Dbreid is plain or pan,
The Aodds against it reaching earth are ninety-nine tae Dwan.
[VERSE 1]
DI'm a skyscraper wean, I live Aon the nineteenth flair;
But I'm no' gaun oot tae Dplay ony mair,
'GCause since we moved tae Castlemilk, I'm Dwastin' away
'Cause IA'm gettin' wan meal less every Dday.
[CHORUS]
DOh ye cannae fling pieces oot a twAenty storey flat,
Seven hundred hungry weans'll Dtestify, to that.
If it's Gbutter, cheese or jeely, if the Dbreid is plain or pan,
The Aodds against it reaching earth are ninety-nine tae Dwan.
[VERSE 2]
DOn the first day ma maw flung oot a Adaud o' Hovis broon;
It came skytin' oot the windae and went Dup insteid o' doon.
GNoo every twenty-seven hoors it Dcomes back intae sight
'Cause Ama piece went intae orbit and became a satellDite.
[CHORUS]
DOh ye cannae fling pieces oot a twAenty storey flat,
Seven hundred hungry weans'll Dtestify, to that.
If it's Gbutter, cheese or jeely, if the Dbreid is plain or pan,
The Aodds against it reaching earth are ninety-nine tae Dwan.
[VERSE 3]
DOn the second day ma maw flung me a Apiece oot wance again.
It went and hut the pilot in a fast Dlow-flying plane.
He Gscraped it aff his goggles, shouting Dthrough the intercom,
'The ClydAeside Reds huv giat me wi' a breid-an-jeely bDomb'.
[CHORUS]
DOh ye cannae fling pieces oot a twAenty storey flat,
Seven hundred hungry weans'll Dtestify, to that.
If it's Gbutter, cheese or jeely, if the Dbreid is plain or pan,
The Aodds against it reaching earth are ninety-nine tae Dwan.
[VERSE 4]
DOn the third day ma maw thought she would Atry another throw.
The Salvation Army band was sDtaundin' doon below.
'OnwaGrd, Christian Soldiers' was the Dpiece they should've played,
But the oAompah man was playing a piece an' marmalDade.
[CHORUS]
DOh ye cannae fling pieces oot a twAenty storey flat,
Seven hundred hungry weans'll Dtestify, to that.
If it's Gbutter, cheese or jeely, if the Dbreid is plain or pan,
The Aodds against it reaching earth are ninety-nine tae Dwan.
[VERSE 5]
DWe're wrote away to Oxfam to tAry an' get some aid,
An' a' the weans in Castlemilk have Dformed a 'piece brigade'.
WeG're gonnae march to George's Square demDanding civil rights
Like Anae mair hooses over piece-flinging heDight.
[CHORUS]
DOh ye cannae fling pieces oot a twAenty storey flat,
Seven hundred hungry weans'll Dtestify, to that.
If it's Gbutter, cheese or jeely, if the Dbreid is plain or pan,
The Aodds against it reaching earth are ninety-nine tae Dwan.
