For an I.O I.O. I.O.U.

I.O.U. I.O.U

An I.O I.O. I.O.U.

An I.O I.O.U.

An H.P. man fae Polmadie

Came to me fae Polmadie

An H.P. man, he pestered me

For an I.O I.O.U

Says he, ‘You’ll want a motor car

Jaguar, right you are

I’ll gie you your motor car

Gie me your I.O.U.’

For an I.O I.O. I.O.U.

I.O.U. I.O.U

An I.O I.O. I.O.U.

An I.O I.O.U.

Insurance man fae Cambuslang

Came alang, fae Cambuslang

Says he, ‘In case your car goes wrang

Gie me your I.O.U.’

Well a garageman in Burnbank

Filled my tank in Burnbank

Now he has got me to thank

For an I.O. I.O.U.

For an I.O I.O. I.O.U.

I.O.U. I.O.U

An I.O I.O. I.O.U.

An I.O I.O.U.

Oan that car, I´ve travelled far

Tae Dunbar, Balmaha

Now I’m off to Arrochar

On an I.O. I.O.U.

But a polis car is chasing me

Racing me, chasing me

And if they should catch up wi me

They’ll take nae I.O.U.

For an I.O I.O. I.O.U.

I.O.U. I.O.U

An I.O I.O. I.O.U.

An I.O I.O.U.
