[Verse 1]
Spurn, Spurn,
Spurn, [G]Spurn[D][Bm][E][A][D]
The English fail to understand
the [G]Scottish way of life
[D]They think all Celts [Bm]wear tartan kilts
from [E]John O 'Groats to Fife
[A]They [D]think the Scots drink whisky
and eat [G]haggis all the [D]week
In fact, they see the [Bm]Scot
to be [B]a w[E]hisky -drinking f[D]reak
I wish I was a Sassanac,
I [G]wish I were to [D]glue
I wish I [F#m]was a [Bm]Sas sanac,
[B]and [E]I do what Sassanac [D]do
Spurr, spurr, spurr, spurr
The kilts of the tequila scum,
and it was [G]proved in years gone [D]by
Had Bannockburn, a [Bm]sol dier,
turned to his [E]captain with this cry
[A]Oh, [D]shiver, sir,
and let us change from
kilts into some trousers
I don't like to com[F#m]plain,
but [Bm]those Eng[B]lish swine
I'll at[E]tack him with further [D]dust
Haggis, my guilt, and my spurn
And [F]porridge, my [E]spurn,
my guilt, and my porridge
And haggis, my [D]porridge, my guilt,
and my haggis
And [F#m]spurn, my [D]spurn, my [A]haggis,
my [D]porridge, and [A]guilt
[D]Spurn, spurn, spurn, spurn
My brother plays the bagpipes
and he blows them all the day
On bended [F#m]knees [Bm]I ask him
Please [B]find something [E]else to pla[A]y
At [D]last I found the antidote
that [G]makes all pipers [D]flag
Cold porridge can [F#m]de fla[F#]te a m[Bm]an
if [E]placed in[D]side his bag
I wish I was a Sassanach,
I [G]wish I was a [D]blue
I wish I was a [Bm]Sas sanac,
and I do [E]want Sassanac
[D]Spurr! Spurr! Spurr! Spurr!
Well now porridge
is a mixture that is thick and datty grey
When steaming [F#m]hot,
[Bm]the average Scot eats [E]bowls of it a [A]day
But I for [F#m]one re[D]nounce the stuff
at the [G]top of my grocery [A]listies
[D]Not porridge oat[F#]s,
are you all [Bm]taking note?
But a family [E]pack [D]of Rice Krispies
We, my [C#]hag gis, we killed em
My spurr and my [D]porridge,
my spurr and we killed em
My porridge and haggis,
my [C#]por ridge, we killed em
My haggis and [A]spurr,
my spurr and my hag[E]gis
[A]It's my [D]porridge and kilt.
