- Scotland's Depraved Part Tooth:
-
- The next trial was sword dancing - with bare feet & bare sword,
- And in this painful trial, he proved a mighty lord.
- "Good brothers I don't understand - you said this would be hard!
- They made me wear my armor when I learned to galliard!"
-
- The fourth contest was drinking, the knight showed them his stuff.
- He chug-a-lugged from six more jugs when they had cried, "Enough!"
- He planned to take the excess home, he put it in a pail...
- "It makes a welcome change," he said, "from luke-warm English ale!"
-
- The fifth and final contest, this valiant knight was told,
- Was to eat a hag-gis [pause] while it was still COLD!
- The knight he ate a score of them, he said "Good friends come here.
- I'll have another score, but - this time with Worcestershire!"
-
- When the trials were over, her kin said "Sister dear,
- Though he has won the contest, you may not wed, we fear.
- For when we were out golfing, he proved his mind's unsound.
- The man, he must be crazy, he loaned me half a crown!"
-
- "Begone you silly spendthrift, to you I won't be wed.
- The way you throw your gold around, you must have lost your head!"
- The knight he quit the highlands and returned to Coventry,
- The lass she wed a highland man, kept Scottish lovers, three.
-
- Thus it goes in Scottish lands, the sexes both are bawds,
- Where half of them are bastards, and all of them tightwads!
- This tale is nearly over and I'm singin' on one lung,
- But to conclude the moral, at last it must be sung...
-
- CLOSING (to the tune of "Scotland the Brave")
-
- O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-h, (sound like a set of pipes starting up)
-
- (1) Scotland it is the land, please (2) Baa baa baa baa baa baa baa
- For lusty lairds and lassies, Baa baa baa baa baa baa baa
- Though England may be moral Though England may be moral
- SCOTLAND'S DEPRAVED! SCOTLAND'S DEPRAVED!
