Since it's Burns night tomorrow, his finest work:
Cock up your Beaver
When first my brave Johnny lad
came to this town,
He had a blue bonnet
that wanted a crown
But now he has gotten
a hat and a feather
Hey, brave Johnny lad
cock up your beaver!
Cock up your beaver
and cock it fu' sprush
We'll over the border
and gie them a brush
There's somebody there
we'll teach better behaviour
Hey, brave Johnny lad
cock up your beaver!
(beaver being a hat, obviously)
