Hullo! Hullo! We are the Eskimos!
Hullo! Hullo! The Glesca Eskimos!
We'll gaff that nyaff ca'd Lanin
We'll spear him whaur he blows
We are the Glesca Eskimos!

It's up the Clyde came Lanin, a super-duper Yank
But doon a dam sight quicker when we coup him doon the stank
Up tae the neck in sludge and sewage fairly stops your swank
We are the Glesca Eskimos!

It’s in an oot, an up an doon, an on an aff the piers
There's cooncillors, collaborators, pimps and profiteers
The hairies jouk the polis, and the polis jouk the queers
We are the Glesca Eskimos!

Hullo! Hullo! We are the Eskimos!
Hullo! Hullo! The Glesca Eskimos!
We'll gaff that nyaff ca'd Lanin
We'll spear him whaur he blows
We are the Glesca Eskimos!

There's dredgers and there's sludgie boats tae keep the river clean
You lift yoir haun an pu the chain - Ye ken fine with ah mean
But why in the hell has the Holy Loch been left outside the scheme
We are the Glesca Eskimos!

Hullo! Hullo! We are the Eskimos!
Hullo! Hullo! The Glesca Eskimos!
We'll gaff that nyaff ca'd Lanin
We'll spear him whaur he blows
We are the Glesca Eskimos!

We've been in mony a rammy, lads, we've been in mony a tear
We've sortit oot this kind afore, we'll sort them onywhere
O, get yuir harpoons ready – he’s comin up for air
We are the Glesca Eskimos!
