Mum cries me a slaister,

Says naethin could be waur

Nor mellin sand and water

And slaisterin in the glaur.

When I'm aa glaur and slaistert

And clarty as a tink

Mum maks a graith o soap suds

And plops me in the sink.

Syne when I'm washed and tidied

And clean as clean can be

My Mum gies me a cuddle

And maks me chips for tea.
