Green light means walk,Red light means run.

We Edinbuggers (haha) huv nae fear e death.
If yer fae Edinbruh ye'll ken what ah'm oan aboot.
The red light tae us isnae a warnin'
,it's a challenge.
Oan Princes Street, we wanna git acrose ,bit thurs traffic.
So ye wait fer crowd pressure tae convince a group take walk.
ye figure a bus
 cannae take oot aw e us
....Prob'bly.....
It must be an auld residue e calvinist belief in fate
which gies us that giraffe like gallop e a gait
iz we try tae avoid gittin knoked doon.
The Americans an Canadians stand at the lights
fer what seems like agggessss
No us Edinbruh folk though,
when impatience rages.
We say Deil take the hindmaist
an bugger that lorry comin' right fer ma face.
Mibye it's no jist an edinbruh hing though.
In glesgae train station pigeons ure missin' taes
Why are we sae fashed aboot time ,wir in a hurry tae see
oor end e days?
Ye'll git nae guid answer
It's  jist oor  east coast ways
