Devil Went Down to Glasgow
Copyright: 2012
The devil went down to Glasgow,
he was looking for a jig or reel
he knew a piperâs spell could send you to hell
when you hear the bagpipes squeal
When he came across a braw wee lad
squeezing a bag and blowinâ it hot
And the Devil jumped up on a 12 year old...cask
And said, "braccchhhhchhooocccchhhh"
I guess you didânae knowât
But I'm a piper too
when my pipes get snorinâ tâwill stirrr your sporan
and will shrink yer digerido
My name is Kevin Dano and I may be a ginger
but when I play the pipes Iâm Wesley Snipes
and I drone like a doberman pincer
Hereâs a game to keep your pipes
thatâll be your just reward--- and then
the loser gets the Eternal prize
OF PLAYING THE ACCORDION
Kevinâs blowinâ up his bag, heâs ready for the bet
you just know when he starts piping, his brow is bathed in sweat
His tighty whities would keep up, the bet they could sustain
be sure the craic was mighty, it was coming down like rain
instrumental
the devil cursed and closed up his case
his face was cloked in pain
He said hand me that accordion
Iâll give you Lady of Spain
Youâve schooled me with yer pipinâ
My face is flushed with shame
I canny bring ye doon to hell
because your sweat would douse the flames
Kevin said, "Devil,just come on back
as a piper youâre pathetic
You can practice more you SoB
but Iâm always diaphoretic
