Whate’er it cost and a’ that,

The entrance is but half-a-crown—

At least we’re good for a’ that.

What tho’ we get an ugly spill,

And break our limbs and a’ that,

We will not bear it any ill,

A rink’s a rink for a’ that.

For a’ that and a’ that,

We do not care for a’ that,

And rinking, spite of all its risks,
