Yes, Yes, U.C.S.- Matt McGinn (feat. The Late Jimmy Reid)

YES, YES, U.C.S.
TELL THEM ON THE RADIO, TELL THEM ON THE PRESS
I WANT MY JOB AND I WANT NO LESS
NO MORE DOLE DAY DOLDRUMS


SHIPYARD BORN AND SHIPYARD BRED
SHIPYARDS TILL THE DAY I AM DEAD
I'VE GOT KIDS THAT MUST BE FED
WANT NO DOLE- DAY DOLDRUMS

CHORUS

MAN CAME HERE FROM LONDON TOWN
HALF AN HOUR HE LOOKED AROUND
HE SAID "CLOSE THOSE SHIPYARDS DOWN"
GAVE ME THE DOLE-DAY DOLDRUMS

CHORUS

I'VE WORKED LONG AND I'VE WORKED HARD
SHIVERED IN THE COLD IN THE OLD SHIPYARD
I DO LIKE BUTTER AND I DON'T LIKE LARD
WANT NO DOLE-DAY DOLDRUMS

CHORUS (X2)

I was born long after the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders work-in Jimmy Reid organised, but I was told about him by my parents, who remember it well, and I was sad to hear that he's died.

Great to see Jimmy Reid - I only knew about him from the other McGinn song. That's the trouble with having been born south of the border in 1973.
