1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 There’s a little aul’ lady from wee Kirkca’dy…
(Go Granny, go Granny, go Granny go!)
And parked in her garage is a Maserati…
(Go Granny, go Granny, go Granny go!)
She’s gonna get a ticket at the foo’ball ground,
So she drives down the road with supercharged sound…

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 And ev’rybody knows she’ll be throwin’ a party,
After watchin’ Raith Rovers win in Kirkca’dy…
Kickin’ her heels up as high as she can,
Eatin’ a haggis and downin’ a dram…
She’s the little aul’ lady from wee Kirkca’dy!

(Go Granny, go Granny, go Granny go!)
Is a Raith Rovers fan very hale and hearty…
(Go Granny, go Granny, go Granny go!)
She’s eighty years old if she’s a day,
But shouts for her team whenever they play…

(Go Granny, go Granny, go Granny go!)

She will brandish her umbrella with all o’ her might,
Tho’ they tell me that her bark is worse than her bite…

Roars down the road with acceleration,
Back to her home to have a celebration…
