The Fountain

The Fountain

It's really great
A parthenon
We reckon it's second
To no other one
The pride of the city
It's so exquisite we
Have our fountain
Others may claim
They have one too
That's great, a first rater
And really surtout
But one thing is certain
That theirs is a squirt 'n
Not a fountain
We say there's no art in
Spouting red or blue
Our one plays in tartan
And that's something new
It's really great
It takes the prize
It's splendour will render
The others to sighs
The pride of the city
We've got to admit we
Have our fountain.
