Grib tae yer naiskel, my beenship kinchen,
Grib tae yer naiskel till the beerie bings anee.
You'll feek a flattrin, intae a teeknie mahzie
If ye grib tae yer naiskel till the beerie bings avree.

Dance tae yer daddy tae the boat comes in.
You'll hae a fishie in a little dishie
If you dance to your daddy till the boat comes in.
