Car for McLetchie
Author: Steven Clark
It's a ca-a-r for McLetchie
Ye slee-kit wee wretch ye
And now ye'll be sat on a bench at the back
No more scooting aboot inside a black hack
Tae hell wi the buggers that called you a "hack"
Ye thought ye'd take us for a ride
Yer taxi is waitin outside
That's a car for McLetchie
It's a shock, I would bet ye
Wee Jack McConnell is singin and dancin'
The sum wisny jist tidy - but positively handsome
Your expenses amounted into a king's ransom
Ye thought ye'd take us for a ride
Yer taxi is waitin outside
Here's a ca-a-r for McLetchie
They were all out tae get ye
Call him a taxi, call him a cab
His political career is laid out on a slab
It wis only expenses and no smash and grab
Ye thought ye'd take us for a ride
Yer taxi is waitin outside
Need a ca-a-r for McLetchie
Ye thought we would let ye
Laugh in a cab all the way tae the bank
Laugh aw the way back in the next off the rank
And now it turns out ye're a bit of a plank
Ye thought ye'd take us for a ride
Yer taxi is waitin outside
It's a ca-a-r for McLetchie
We've came for tae fetch ye
Ah can see aw the reasons ye canny remain
Tae take ye away fae yer woe and yer pain
We'll shoot past the traffic along the bus lane
Ye thought ye'd take us for a ride
Yer taxi is waitin outside

Scottish Conservative leader David McLetchie resigned in October 2005
following pressure over his Holyrood taxi expenses. The Edinburgh
Pentlands MSP spent £11,500 during five years - more than any other MSP -
but said the claims were made in good faith.
