Sam The Skull (the Glasgow Cat) Lyrics - Alastair Mcdonald

I'm a cat, I'm a cat, 

I'm a Glasgow cat 

and my name is Sam The Skull. 

I've got claws in my paws like a crocodile's jaws and a hied like a fairmer's bull. 

I'm no' the kind of cat that sits on the mat 

nor the kind that you gie a hug 

but I'm the kind of cat can swallie a rat 

or even the occaisional dog. 

Noo I used to roam about in Shettleton 

where they all knew me by sight 

"Here's the skull" "here's the skull" 

you could here them yell 

as they vanished intae the night 

Noo the polis stations all aroond 

have bars on the windie sills 

but they're no to keep the prisoners in 

they're to keep oot Sam The Skull 

I'm a cat, I'm a cat, 

I'm a Glasgow cat 

and my name is Sam The Skull. 

I've got claws in my paws like a crocodile's jaws and a hied like a fairmer's bull. 

Noo I'm no' the kind of cat that sits on the mat 

nor the kind that you gie a hug 

but I'm the kind of cat can swallie a rat 

or even the occaisional dog. 

Noo one fine day no' so long ago 

they all had had their fill 

and they sent for the R.S.P.C.A. 

to try and catch the Skull 

There was naebody could get oot when I was aboot chasin all the weans up the close 

Wettlin on the shoes 

yodelin' the blues 

and nonchalantly pickin' my nose 

I'm a cat, I'm a cat, 

I'm a Glasgow cat 

and my name is Sam The Skull. 

I've got claws in my paws like a crocodile's jaws and a hied like a fairmer's bull. 

I'm no' the kind of cat that sits on the mat 

nor the kind that you gie a hug 

but I'm the kind of cat that can swallie a rat 

or even the occaisional dog.

Aboot half past two 

the boys in blue 

arrived in their Escort van 

Right roon the back 

one had a sack 

the other had a mallet in his hand 

I watched them creep tae the back of the close, 

Then I casually strolled tae the van 

I jumped through the door 

stuck my foot tae the floor 

everything had gone tae plan 

You can hear them say doon Shettleston way, "What became of Sam the Skull? 

He had claws in his paws like a crocodile's jaws, and a heid like a framer's bull." 

just you tell them for me that I'm still running free and never a day is dull 

It may sound absurd 

but I'm livin' wi' a bird in a single end in Maryhill 

I'm a cat, I'm a cat, 

I'm a Glasgow cat 

and my name is Sam The Skull. 

I've got claws in my paws like a crocodile's jaws and a hied like a fairmer's bull. 

I'm no' the kind of cat that sits on the mat 

nor the kind that you gie a hug 

but I'm the kind of cat that can swallie a rat 

or even the occaisional 

paws and all nutritional 

even the occaisional dog.
