Ah want tae be a punk rocker
Andy Cameron who had a big hit with this song in the late seventies came from Rutherglen and once worked in the Welma Bakery in Barrowfield, he is still a quoted entertainer.
The writer of the song was Peter Nardini, one of Glasgow's top artists, his work being displayed throughout Europe, he attended the Glasgow School of Art.

Ah want tae be a Punk Rocker
Chorus:
Ah want tae be a punk rocker but ma mammy wullny let me
She says if ah'm a punk she'll throw me oot and hit me
A want tae be a punk rocker but ah'm feart tae be a punk
Cos ma mammy wullny let me be a punk

A want tae go intae a cafe an make them aw feel seeck
Wi' a great big rusty safety pin stickin through ma cheek
A want tae really be a scunner and dae things that are awfy like pick ma nose and dip it in ma coffee

A want tae listen tae John Peel cos he plays aw thur hits
and thur full o' sex appeal like Fiona Richmonds 'lips'
A want tae be a punk when thur music is forgotten
I'll still be there tae strangle Johnny Rotten.
