I Belong to Glasgow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I Belong to Glasgow is a song written by the music hall entertainer Will Fyffe, reportedly remarking on the words of a drunk helped up by Fyfe who said "The way I feel tonight is that Glasgow belongs to me." Harry Lauder was offered the song but turned it down since it praised strong drink. The song was parodied as "I Belong To Colditz" in the film The Colditz Story.
