that has stood the test of time

Its a custom that's been carried out

in every land and clime

Wherever Scots forgather

its aye the usual thing

Just before we say goodnight,

we raise our cups and sing

just a wee dram that's a'

Just a wee docht and doris,

the sort of man you know

The kind of chap that slaps your back

and says
