Why you think you have the right, to do the things you planned
Working in the shadows, like some thief in the night
Your dark deed has finally seen the light

No negotiations, no one there to see, carried out in total secrecy

Creeping in the shadows, with a simple slight of hand, you came in and stole Scotland's land.

Verse 1
I'm an easy going fella, for all the world to see,
I have a lovely wife at home and a lovely family
My seventeen year old daughter started hanging 'round the town
and bringing boys back to the house when we are not around
Verse 2
There was Tommy from the Football, there was Andy from the Gym
There was Robert from the High School and a lovely lad called Jim
But I tell you I'm not worried, she knows the laws laid down
And it's never let me see you hanging round with a Yoon
Chorus
I don't care about religion, or the color of their skin
I don't care about their gender, I'm a libertarian
So long as they love you and it's plain for all to see
Just make sure and never bring a Yoon hame tae me
Verse 3
It was then she brought home Christian, he seemed a lovely guy
He dotted on my daughter, she was the apple of his eye
He always smiled politely and laughed at all my jokes
But with Christian there was something, that made me want to boak
Chorus
I don't care about religion, or the color of their skin
I don't care about their gender, I'm a libertarian
So long as they love you and it's plain for all to see
Just make sure and never bring a Yoon hame tae me
Verse 4
Invited to his parents, for a spot of Sunday lunch
So we headed up to Bearsden on the number 60 bus
They toasted us with Champagne, something they called Bol
I was standing next to Thatcher, who was hanging on the wall
Chorus
I don't care about religion, or the color of their skin
I don't care about their gender, I'm a libertarian
So long as they love you and it's plain for all to see
Just make sure and never bring a Yoon hame tae me
Verse 5
Now I know I'm not the sharpest, tool in the box
But he wears khaki trousers and bright red sock
I've asked my daughter once or twice, are you sure he's not a Yoon
But she just laughs and says away you go ya daft balloon
Chorus
I don't care about religion, or the color of their skin
I don't care about their gender, I'm a libertarian
So long as they love you and it's plain for all to see
Just make sure and never bring a Yoon hame tae me
Chorus
I don't care about religion, or the color of their skin
I don't care about their gender, I'm a libertarian
So long as they love you and it's plain for all to see
Just make sure and never bring a Yoon hame tae me

Verse 1
My Granny went down to the shops, and got caught out in the rain

And I ain't keeping quiet, 'cause I know who's to blame

Blame it on the SNP and help us bang the drum
