Cheek touchin’ cheek, loof locked in loof,

What our wee heads could think.

When baith bent doun ower ae braid page,

Wi’ ae buik on our knee,

Thy lips were on thy lesson, but

My lesson was in thee.

O, mind ye how we hung our heads,

How cheeks brent red wi’ shame,

Whene’er the scule-weans, laughin’, said

We cleeked thegither hame?
