LYRICS
Give a dog a bad name is a syaing that's old
Often the story has never been told
Take me for instance, since I was a kid
people have frowned at the things that I did
They called me scallywag
the people always called me scallywag
that's me, you see, because I'm never out of trouble
It's always been the same, no matter where I go
The people all give me the name of scallywag
though I've got no money - scallywag
I find that life is sunny, and though I'm often without a fag
But if there is fighting to be done, or a battle to be won
you'll find a good for nothin', tough and bluffin' scallywag
