Auld Nick |
Look oot! Look oot! Dinna shout!
The Bogey Man, Auld Nick, he's about!
Noo coorie doon upon yer hunkers
An' haud yer wheest by the bunkers
Fer if Auld Nick hears ye greetin'
Ye kin be sure o' a helluva beatin'
Look oot! Look oot! Dinna shout!
The Bogey Man, Auld Nick, he's about!
Then when ye canna hear nae mair
Staun up, look roon an' run fair sair
Tae the ootside lavvy an' git yersel in
An' bolt the door withoot muckle din.
Look oot! Look oot! Dinna shout!
The Bogey Man, Auld Nick, he's about!
Then when ye've done an' flushed awa'
Run helter skelter back tae yer Ma.
Say guid nicht tae a' yer kith an' kin
An' git yersel tae bed wi a smirkin' grin.
Look oot! Look oot! Dinna shout!
The Bogey Man, Auld Nick, he's about!
But jist ye mind when ye git in tae bed
The de'ils about an hasnae been fed,
So look un'erneath an' on the flair
Tae mak sure he is nae lurkin' there.
Look oot! Look oot! Dinna shout!
The Bogey Man, Auld Nick, he's about!
