Lyrics composed by
John Henderson on the 1st of January, 2009
to Rudolf Friml's 1913 music to 'The Bubble'.
The han o oor toon clock's strack twal,
Sae heft aa yir tummlers hich,
Ah wiss tae aa ye in oor hoose,
A New Year fan things aa ging richt;
Syne gie a guid clink tae ilk's gless,
An neist weet yir thrapple clean;
Fyles tak a dracht fae ilk chiel
Till the naftie's .... aa deen.
Bleck bun .... tae aet,
An mony feerst-fits oan oor bass;
Come ben ... come ben,
Ah bid ye ilk laddie an lass;
Guid chiels ... ye are,
Ah'm happy ye've brocht a bit kwile,
An grey-beards fu o strang whusky tee -
Come awa .... an bide a while! |
