Donald where’s yer troosers?

Just got in fae the isle of Skye

I’m no very big and i’m awfully shy

The lassies shout when i go by

Donald where’s yer troosers?

Let the winds blow high,

let the winds blow low,

doon the street in ma kilt i go

all the lassies shout hello

Donald where’s your troosers?

Clapa clapa handies

Clapa clapa handies,

dadies comin hame,

sweeties in his pockets

for a good wee wean

Wee Wullie Winkie

Wee Wulie Winkie runs through the town,

upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,

Tapping at the window and crying through the lock,

are all the children in their beds,

its past eight o’clock.

Dan Dan the funny wee man

Dan Dan the funny wee man

washed his face in the frying pan

combed his hair wae the leg of a chair

Dan Dan the funny wee man.
