No. 8 - Song - The Mayor and Servants
Mayor: | My hairt is in the Highlands O; My hairt it is nae here; Tho' in this dress I must confess I feel extremely queer! |
Tammas & Servants: | We feel very queer! |
Mayor: | I'm up in Gaelic dialect, The pipes I'll learn to play, But oh! my knees will surely freeze. |
Tammas: | Will surely freeze. |
Servants: | Will surely freeze. |
Mayor: | But oh! my knees will surely freeze, If there's a frost today. |
Tammas & Servants: | That is very true. |
Mayor: | Still, I am a Highland-man, A tartan plaided Highland-man, As callant canty Highland-man As ever you did see. |
Tammas & Servants: | Yes, he's a Highland-man, A tartan plaided Highland-man, As callant canty Highland-man As ever you did see. |
Mayor: | Rob Roy Mc.Gregor, O! England, how we'll plague her, O! Pipers blaw and clansman draw, Rob Roy Mc.Gregor, O! |
Tammas & Servants: | Rob Roy Mc.Gregor, O! England, how we'll plague her, O! Pipers blaw and clansman draw, For Rob Roy Mc.Gregor, O! |
Mayor: | I do not know a pibroch From a bunch of philabegs; But reels and flings are just the things To limber up the legs! |
Tammas & Servants: | Limber up the legs! |
Mayor: | My hairt is in the Highlands O; I am a Highland chief; Although a chance at longer pants, |
Tammas: | We'd like a chance, |
Servants: | At longer pants, |
Mayor: | Oh, yes a chance at longer pants Would give my soul relief. |
Tammas & Servants: | Oh, what a relief. |
Mayor: | Still, I am a Highland-man, A tartan plaided Highland-man, As callant canty Highland-man As ever you did see. |
Tammas & Servants: | Yes, he's a Highland-man, A tartan plaided Highland-man, As callant canty Highland-man As ever you did see. |
Mayor: | Rob Roy Mc.Gregor, O! England, how we'll plague her, O! Pipers blaw and clansman draw, Rob Roy Mc.Gregor, O! |
Tammas & Servants: | Rob Roy Mc.Gregor, O! England, how we'll plague her, O! Pipers blaw and clansman draw, For Rob Roy Mc.Gregor, O! |
