The Proclaimers "Throw the 'R' Away"

Here are the lyrics to The Proclaimers' song we heard in the opening lecture. Note that the song is an expression of nationalism: i.e. antipathy to another's nation, to wit England, rather than a simple affirmation of a national virtue of one's own. For example, the comment "perhaps for some money ..." is a shot at England's amusement at Scots' extreme thrift.
