On Wednesday 29th January the whole school will be participating in a ‘Burns Assembly’. On this day every class will be performing something Scottish to the rest of the school as part of the celebration.

Primary 2 will be performing ‘Donald Where’s Yer Troosers?’. Pupils will be given many opportunities to practice the song in school over the next coming weeks, however, it would be also be very helpful if you could practice the lyrics to this song with your child at home as well.  Pupils will be given out an A4 sheet with the lyrics on it by the end of the week. Below is a copy and a link to the song on youtube.

I’ve just come down
From the Isle of Skye
I’m not very big and I’m awful shy
And the lassies shout when I go by
Donald, where’s your troosers

[Chorus:]
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets
In my kilt, I’ll go
All the lassies say hello
Donald, where’s your troosers

A lassie took me to a ball

And it was slippery in the hall
And I was feared that I would fall
For I had nae on my troosers

[Repeat Chorus]
Now I went down to London Town
And I had some fun in the underground
The ladies turned their heads around
Saying, Donald, where are your trousers

[Repeat Chorus]
To wear the kilt is my delight
It is not wrong I know it’s right
The Highlanders would get a fright
If they saw me in the trousers

[Repeat Chorus]
The lassies want me every one
Well, let them catch me if they can
You canna take the breaks
If a Highland man
And I don’t wear the troosers

[Repeat Chorus]
