Ally bally, ally bally bee,
Sittin' on your mammy's knee,
Greetin' for a wee bawbee,
Tae buy some Coulter's Candy.
Livin's very hard the noo,
Faither's idlin' on the bru,
But your mammy's got a penny for you,
Tae buy some Coulter's Candy.
Ally bally, ally bally bee,
Sittin' on your mammy's knee,
Greetin' for a wee bawbee,
Tae buy some Coulter's Candy.
Peer wee sowl you're lookin' affa thin,
A pickle o' banes covered ower wi' skin,
Noo ye'll be gettin a wee double chin,
Wi' sookin' Coulter's Candy.
Ally bally, ally bally bee,
Sittin' on your mammy's knee,
Greetin' for a wee bawbee,
Tae buy some Coulter's Candy.
Aff tae bed ma bonny wee man
Seevin o'clock an your playin's done
When you rise in the mornin' sun
You'll get some Coulter's Candy
Ally bally, ally bally bee,
Sittin' on your mammy's knee,
Greetin' for a wee bawbee,
Tae buy some Coulter's Candy.
