Jubilee Street Pairty
Albert Kirk Jr
Pit awa yer gowps an carks
An cleed yersel in gawsie sarks;
Redd a neuk intil yer thairm
An rax yer pithy bousin airm;
Ilka bodie fetch a plate
(Tho Meghan willnae get a sate)
An weelcome yin, weelcome aw,
Tae Leezie's pairty, routh an braw!
Elders, get yer erses doon:
Thare’s tea an cake an couthie tunes
Tae gar ye mind the guid auld days
Whan fair Britannia ruled the waves
An fowk wi broon an yella faces
Held thir wheesht an kent thir places,
Didnae try tae come ow'r here
Wi aw thir pratticks, daft an queer!
Young yins, whit is mair fantoush
Than toastin Bess wi fizzy juice?
Chuck an Willum cheert an aw:
Heidyins made fae heidyins' baws;
An aiblins gin ye hivnae et
For near a week ye cannae let
The chance tae stap yer belly pass,
Nor swally fae a Ryal tass!
Mithers, faithers, dinnae hanker,
No a wean'll greet or canker:
Anndra's keen tae gaird yer chiels
An Eddie's got a thoosan spiels,
An gin thon willnae mak them bide
Syne Anne'll dae them cuddy rides:
Up an doon the street they'll gang,
Kings an queens abune the thrang!
A'b'dy else, the buntin's oot
Tae lea' wur chief wioot a doot
That aw the kintra bends the knap
An disnae thole republic crap;
An were ye no tae jine - for shame! -
The polis'll tak doon yer name,
Sae stowe yer painch wi Leezie's meal:
Ye pey for her, ye micht as weel.
