Choukie-hen, choukie-hen,

Ye're the daftest bird I ken,

Scartin here, scartin there,

Scartin caff, aa owre the flair,

Scartin till your taes are sair

Aye scart-scartin.

Choukie-hen, choukie-hen,

Scartin but, scartin ben,

Stealin frae the corn tubs,

Seekin worms, seekin grubs,

Slaisterin in the clarty dubs

And aye scart-scartin.
