[CHORUS]
Come Dand join us, come and Gjoin us, we Dare the chosen Afew,
come Dand join us, come and Gjoin us at a DScottish baArbeDcue.
[Verse]
Now, Dwhen the charcoal's burnin' fiercely and the smoke gets in your Geyes,
the steaks all taste like Afried toothpaste, and your mA7outh is full of fDlies,
You know you've Dbeen accepted, you've joined the chosen fGew,
when yAou have been invited to a greenA7-belt barbDecue.
[CHORUS]
ComDe and join us, come and jGoin us, we Dare the chosen Afew,
comDe and join us, come and jGoin us at Da Scottish baArbeDcue.
[Verse]
Now, wDhen the summer sun is burnin' in Scotland's happy Gland,
round countless fires in strAange attires A7on many solemn bDands
of unhappy ScoDtsmen watching their lunch go up in flGames,
by the Asmoke and the smell, you can plainly tell it's bA7arbie time Dagain.
[CHORUS]
Come Dand join us, come and joGin us, we Dare the chosen Afew,
comDe and join us, come and joGin us at Da Scottish bAarbeDcue.
[Verse]
Now, thDe English love their roast beef, the French eat snails and fGrogs,
the Greeks go crackAers over their moussaka’s, and the ChA7inese love hot Ddogs.
A Welshman lovDes to have a leek, the Irish eat their Gstew,
but yAou just can't beat that half-cooked meat at a SA7cottish barbDecue.
[CHORUS]
ComDe and join us, come and joGin us, we Dare the chosen fAew,
come Dand join us, come and joGin us at a SDcottish bAarbeDcue.
[Verse]
 Now, tDhere's flies stuck in the butter, the bread has gone brick-Ghard,
the kids are fightiAn', and the midges are bitin'. Who foA7rgot the AerogDuard?
 There's cinderDs in your whiskey, and the beer is running Gout,
 and whAat you saw in Mum's coleslaw you just doA7n't think aDbout.
 [CHORUS]
Come Dand join us, come and joGin us, we Dare the chosen Afew,
come aDnd join us, come and joGin us at a DScottish bAarbeDcue.
[Verse]
 And thDen when the barbie's over, your homeward way you wGend.
 with a queasy tumAmy on the family dunny many lonelA7y hours you sDpend.
 You might find yoDurself reflecting as many others Gdo:
 "Come Arain or shine, that's the bloody last time I'A7m goin' to a barDbecue."
[CHORUS]
Come aDnd join us, come and joGin us, we aDre the chosen Afew,
come aDnd join us, come and joGin us at a ScotDtish bAarbDecue.
