I know it is an odd request, but does anyone by chance have the lyrics to the legendery Glasgow Rap by Johnny Beattie?

Don't remember all the lyrics, however I do remember a couple of lines........
"Oh, hey, the Glasgow Rap
This'll be the one, for to put us on the map
If you talk proper, you better shut your trap
Oh, hey, the Glasgow Rap"

Think that was the chorus :)

Additionally seem to recall a random verse:
"Rap it up, rap it up, don't be late
(something something something) on the Gallowgate"

Sorry, thats all I can remember!

I know feel very ashamed I even asked. :oops:
We have been trying to find the words for some close friends leaving do. Their away to oz. And in 7 years of being here they have never been treated to this lyrical wonder.
I had every hope someone would have been sad enough to admit to knowing all the words.

Thanks for the effort 'The Duke'

Not quit Johnnt Beattie but,

"Weegie Bohemian Rhapsody

Is this the real life, is it the methodone?
Stuck in the Gorbals, two bob fur the telephone?
Open yer wine an' talk wi' a whine like me.
Um just a weeji, wearing mah Burberry
Cos I'll chib yer pal, rip yer Da; slash yer dug, ride yer ma!
Any way the Clyde flows Disnae really mater tae me......tae me.

Haw Maw, just chibbed some bam,
Buckie bottle tae the heid,
An noo the f*ckin' b*stard's deid!
Haw Maw, Um just oan parole,
An noo I'm headin back tae Barlineeeee....

Haw Maw, ooh oohooh ooh,
Never meant tae steal yer purse,
But if I'm no fu' o' smack this time the morra'.
Carry oot, carry oot!
An we'll go oot oan the batter!

Too late, the bailiff's here,
Sends shivers doon ma spine,
Gubbed 10 jellies just in time.
Goodbye all ma muckers, I've got tae go,
Got tae go and rip some c**t fae up the scheme.
Haw Maw, ooh oohooh ooh
I'm a jakey bam, I sometimes think I've never been washed at all.

I see a little silhouetto of a bam,
Adidas! Adidas! Can ye get us a kergo?
Thunderbird, White Lightning, very very frightning to me!
Twenty Mayfair,
Twenty Mayfair, Twenty Mayfair and some skins,
Magnifico oh oh oh oh!

I'm just a fat boy, nae body loves me,
He's just a fat boy fae a fat family!
Spare us a pound fur some minted Burberry!
Get tae f*ck, skanky slob, will ye get a job?
Forf*cksake, No! I will no' get a job! - Get a job!
Forf*cksake, I will
no' get a job! - Get a job! Forf*cksake, Will you get a job?
Get a job! Will no' get a job, get a job!
Will no' get a job, get a job!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.....

Oh gonorrhoea! gonorrhoea! gonorrhoea and the clap!
Then doon the pub, has the barman put aside for me?
For me, for meeeee!?

So you 'hink you can slash me and pish in my eye?
So ye 'hink ye can chib me an' leave me tae die?
Haw bawbag, can't dae this tae me bawbag!
Just wait till I'm oot, just wait till I'm right oot ma nut!

F*ck all really matters, Any c**t can see,
F*ck all really matters, f*ck all really matters to me!
Any way the Clyde flows....
