Oor Bit is where we live, It isnae where we work. Oor bit is where we call hame.

*** Oor bit Is where kids build camps All the kids in oor bit Built this one.

*** In oor bit, Kids leave their toys, bikes, just there, The minute Maws roar: "Din-ner!"

*** Oor bit, for me, Starts a street from oor street, Where the braes rise in fifty shades of green, To welcome me hame.

*** Oor bit is what they mean, When they say: "East, West, Hame's best."
