Lyrics – THE ESKIMO REPUBLIC
by Morris Blythman (aka Thurso Berwick)

(See film above – THE ESKIMO REPUBLIC
sung by Jimmy Ross and a cast of thoosands)

Noo good fortunes wheel let its ball roll roond,
A Nation’s rise that yince was doon
So it’s time tae sing a rebel tune
Fur the Eskimo Republic

Chorus:
Where there is nae Class and there is nae boss
Nae Kings nor Queens an’ damn the loss
An’ we get boozed up for a six month’s toss
In the Eskimo Republic

When they mak a law sure they all agree
Fur they a’ sit on the committee
An’ they got nae Lords nor nae MPs
In the Eskimo Republic

Noo the Eskimos they live in peace
An’ they’ve never jined in an arms race
An’ you’ll find nae trace o’ a Polaris Base
In the Eskimo Republic

When a Eskie weann gaes tae the school
They sit up nice on their Eskie stool
An’ they sing an’ they laugh an’ they learn the rules
O’ the Eskimo Republic

Now their fitba’ games, they’re a’ clean and fair
An’ recruits are housed wi’ the fitba’ players
Cause the park’s patrolled by Polar bears
In the Eskimo Republic

Well they flee aboot in their wee kayaks
An’ stick harpoons intae whale’s back
Then they cut them up intae nice wee snacks
In the Eskimo Republic

Noo the Eskimoes they ur no like you
Every Eskimo’s got their ain igloo
An’ their mother law got their igloos too
In the Eskimo Republic

When an Eskimo sings an Eskie song
He gies it that really auld Eskie twang
An’ his favourite wan is I belong
Tae the Eskimo Republic

Noo the Eskimos they are gay and gallus
And their ig-aloos are their ain wee palace
Cause their a’ lit up by the Aurora Borealis
In the Eskimo Republic
