- Ye Cannae Shove Yer Granny Aff a Bus!

The author of this short poem is unknown but he/she certainly struck a chord with many people, especially in Glasgow. "Granny" has of course a special place in the structure of families, whether she's "yer mammy's mammy" or "yer daddy's mammy"!


Ye Cannae Shove Yer Granny Aff a Bus!

Ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus,
Oh ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus,
Ye cannae shove yer granny, for she's yer mammy's mammy,
Ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus.

Ye can shove yer other granny aff a bus,
Ye can shove yer other granny aff a bus.
You can shove yer other granny, for she's yer daddy's mammy,
Ye can shove yer other granny aff a bus.
