The German Lairdie
What merriment has taen the whigs,
I think they be gaen mad, Sir,
We' playing up their whiggish jigs,
Their dancing may be sad, Sir.
Sing heedle liltie, teedle liltie,
Andum tandum tandie;
Sing fal de dal, de dal lal lal,
Sing howdle liltie dandie.
The Revolution principles
Has put their heads in bees, Sir;
They're a' fa'n out amang themsels,
Deil tak the first that grees, Sir.
Sing heedle liltie, teedle liltie,
Andum tandum tandie;
Sing fal de dal, de dal lal lal,
Sing howdle liltie dandie.
