Verse 1
D 
 (D major) Well this is a wee song
about my boyhood days.
We've all got our faults,
and I'm afraid I originally hail
from Dundee.
Up in Dundee, you know,
you get cheap labour every year.
Kids are kept off school
to go to the tatty houtin'.
Just go to the tatties, I refer to.
Or they go to the berries,
or the rasps, the black currants.
But I never went to the tatties,
nor did I go to the berries,
because we lived no far from Smedley's factory,
and round Smedley's had acres
and acres of pea fields.
So I didn't go to school
to go to the tatties, nor the berries.
I got of six weeks every year
to go peeing.
There we are,
peeing in the green fields of Dundee.
There's a factory on the
A

D 
Teaching us  (D major) to pee in the
A 
D 
 (A major) green fields out on  (D major) thee,

Now you might think  (A major) that anyone can  (D major) pee,
G 
E 
A 
I  (G major) wonder what the joy  (E major) of it could  (A major) be
