Losh me, sir! The wonnerfu' things that I saw!

The kirks wi' their steeples, sae bonny an' braw

An' publics whauriver ye turned wi' yer ee—

'Tis jist a complete eddication, Dundee!

Theer's streets—be the hunner! An' shops be the score!

Theer's bakers an' grocers an' fleshers galore!

An' milliners' winders a' flauntin' awa'

Wi' the last o' the fashions frae Lunnon an' a'.

An' eh, sic a thrang, sir! I saw in a minnit

Mair folk than the toun o' Kinghorn will hae in it.
