Losh me, Sir! The wunnerfu' 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!
