Gaun Yersel Mel

It’s only a film Laddies,
So don’t get yer kilts in a twist.
But we loved everything about it,
Even the fake Scoatch mist.

It’s only a film Laddies,
Escapism for the popcorn masses.
No tae be taken seriously,
By teachers in history classes.

It’s only a film Laddies,
So don’t be a bunch o’ big haddies.
As Scots – we love the sight of
Mel cutting doon the English baddies.

It’s only a film Laddies,
Made with passion by a man called Mel.
Playing the part of William Wallace,
An’ given the English hell.

It’s only a film Laddies,
So gonnae leave oor Mel alain.
‘Cause if he reads anything ye’ve written,
He mebby no come back again.
