Where all the gay world has been bowin' to me,
For I am the lad who wrote Bonnie Dundee!
And just for a smile or a glance of my eye
The lassies are ready to lie down and die;
So don't give yourself airs, but just bow before me,
For I am the lad who wrote Bonnie Dundee!'
"Now a'weel, Mr. Burns, I have somewhat to say
I've sweethearts as many as you any day;
And I've eyes of my own, as you've noticed, maybe,
If you've glanced from the author of Bonnie Dundee!
