He's Only a Poor Little Scummer is a blunt Portsmouth taunt, leaning on repetition and terrace bite instead of any bigger story. It works as a quick burst aimed across the ground rather than a long singalong.

Lyrics for He's Only a Poor Little Scummer

He's only a poor little scummer, His face is all tattered and torn, He made me feel sick, So I hit him with a brick, And now he don't sing any more...
