Once shrouded in smoke, wi' nae care,
But now it shines bricht, a new born light,
A city transformed frae day to night
Gone are the days of industry's dark toil,
In its stead, a city green and bright with foil.
Its focus on sustainability, an auld hearth aglow,
Makes Dundee a city of worth, nae doot ye kenIts people proud, an work in tandem,
For a better future, they do not condemn.
And so, Dundee, we raise a glass to thee,
For being a city baith green and fair to see
