Lyrics

[Verse 1] It is old but it is beautiful, and its colours they are fine It was worn at Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen and the Boyne My father wore it as a youth in bygone days of yore And on the Twelfth, I love to wear the sash my father wore [Spoken Intro] And when the Scottish Nationalist stole this from Ireland, it became a song about Queen Elizabeth. You see they never had a first Elizabeth in Scotland. So their point was how can you have a second Elizabeth if the first one's never been [Chorus] Nae Liz the Twa, nae Lilibet the One Nae Liz will ever be We'll make our land Republican In the Scottish breakaway [Verse 2] Oh now Scotland has nae got a King And she has nae got a Queen How can ye have the Second Liz When the First one's never been [Chorus] Nae Liz the Twa, nae Lilibet the One Nae Liz will ever be We'll make our land Republican In the Scottish breakaway [Verse 3] Her man he's called the Duke o' Edinburgh He's one of the kilted Greeks But I hope the wind blows his platey awaft For it's Lizzie wears the breeks [Chorus] Nae Liz the Twa, nae Lilibet the One Nae Liz will ever be We'll make our land Republican In the Scottish breakaway [Verse 4] And her sister Meg's got a bonny pair o' legs But she did nae want a German or a Greek Peter Townsend was her choice but he did nae suit the boys So they sent him up the creek But Meg was fly and she got them by an' by Wi' Tony hyphenated Armstrong But behind the pomp and play, the question o' the day Wis, Who is Suzie Wong [Chorus] Nae Liz the Twa, nae Lilibet the One Nae Liz will ever be We'll make our land Republican In the Scottish breakaway [Verse 5] Sae here's a health te the lion, the bonnie rampant lion An' a lang stretch he his paw If the Hampdon roar an' it's oot the door Ta-ta tae Charlie's maw [Chorus] Nae Liz the Twa, nae Lilibet the One Nae Liz will ever be We'll make our land Republican In the Scottish breakaway
