(D)G                                                                                            Am
I'm a cat,  I'm a cat,  I'm a Glesga cat and my name is Sam the Skull 
                                                 D                                                                  G
I've got claws in ma paws like a crocodiles jaws and a heid like a fermers bull. 
D   G                                                                                             B      C
I'm no the kind o' cat that sits oan the mat nor the kind that you gie a hug 
       D                                                                                                     G
But I'm the kind o' cat that swallow a rat and even the occasional dug.

D     G                                                                                                    Am
Noo I used to roam about in shettlestoon where they all knew me by sight 
                            D                                                                                                   G
"Here's the Skull here's the Skull" you can hear them yell as they vanish into the night. 
D     G                                                                                     C
Noo The police stations all around have bars on the window sill 
                D                                                                                     G
But there no tae keep the prisoners in there tae keep out Sam the Skull. 
Chorus

G                                                                              Am              
One fine day no so long ago they all had had their fill 
                D                                                                        G
And they sent for the R.S.P.C.A. tae come and catch the Skull 
D               G
Theres was none could get oot while he's roamin aboot chasin' a' the weans up the 
C
close,    
wedlin' on the shoes yodeling the blues and sittin there pickin' my nose.

G                                                                                             Am
aboot hauf past two the boys in blue arrived in their Escort van 
D                                                                                                 G-C7-D7
Were in the back, One wae a sack the other had a mallet in his hand. 
G                                                                                                                     C
I watched them creep to the back o' the hoose and I casually strolled to the van 
D                                                                                                                            G
I jumped through the door stomped my foot to the floor everything had gone to plan.
V3 
D      G                                                                                                               Am
You had heard them say down Shettlestoon way,  "What became of Sam the Skull?" 
            D                                                                        D
He had claws in his paws like a crocodiles jaws and a hide like a fermers bull 
D           G                                                                                                  C
Just you tell them from me that I'm still runnin' free And never a day is dull 
D
It may sound absurd but I'm livin with a bird in a single end in Maryhill. 
Chorus.
Positso nutritional, even the...
