Wi’ elbows at an angle,

Will pin ye to the wainscoat fast

As wild boar in a jungle.

The floor’s as smooth as summer grass

Sma’ feet, like crickets, caper,

And whirlin’ kirtles, as they pass,

Sair waste the swealing taper.

The lassies’ gowns are creased and rent;

The lads are oot o’ knowledge;

They are as hot wi’ twirlin’ roon
