Bute House Sycophants
(Mackay/Turner)

Bute House

Stenhouse, Broomhouse
Muirhouse, Southhouse
From Abbeyhill to Balgreen
The cooncil keep the city clean
They call them
Bute House Oh Butehouse
Bute House Sycophants

25 goes to Holyrood
Smoking not allowed on board
You go to Scotmid on Friday
You go to Jenners on Sunday
They call them
Bute House Oh Butehouse
Bute House Sycophants

You go to the office on weekdays
Scottish Executive
You go to Murrayfield Saturday
But go to Jenners ev'ry Sunday
They call them
Bute House Oh Butehouse
Bute House Sycophants

All houses for sale
Cost an arm and a tail
You can't park with the masses
All you'll all end up in jail
They call them
Bute House Oh Butehouse
Bute House Sycophants

Little old house in Charlotte Square
That calls the shots for the whole economy
A one-man show you have to watch
What he's puttin' down in old
Bute House
They call them
Bute House Oh Butehouse
Call them Bute House Sycophants
