Introduction
Canna dince, fer fan I dince,
I'm swatin', affa, wachy,
Richt oot o' ma oxters 'sweil, a graun deal!
Fan I dince, an' fan I swat,
I'm guffin', affa, sairly,
Nae dincin' quine naar me wints tae be.
Gin kennin' cures, thit'll gizzen maist ma poors,
I'd shairly impruv maist the braw quines' opeen',
Tae syne dince wi' me, as ilk cam tae weil see,
Ull swat-guff hid faur geen.
Noo I dince, fer fan I dinse,
I'm swatin', bit nae, wachy,
An' ainly oan sleekit broo, wid ye troo?
Aye ...
Fan I dince, an' fan I glowe,
I'm saarin', sae-sae, smaachrie,
Ilk dincin' quine naar me wints tae be.
Och aye ...
Fan I dince an' ainly glowe,
I'm saarin', sae-sae, smaachrie,
Ilka quine naar me wints tae be.
Fan I'm up dincin', aye saarin', verra-verra, smaachrie,
Shair ilk dincin' quine wints tae be wi' me . YEA!
CANNOT DANCE !
CANNOT DANCE FOR WHEN I DANCE
I'M SWEATING AWFULLY STALELY
RIGHT OUT OF MY ARMPITS AS WELL, A GREAT DEAL
WHEN I DANCE AND WHEN I SWEAT
I'M SMELLING AWFULLY BADLY
NO DANCING LASS NEAR ME WANTS TO BE
******
IF GETTING TO KNOW CURES THAT WILL DRY UP MOST OF MY PORES
I WOULD SURELY IMPROVE MOST OF THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS' OPINIONS
TO THEN DANCE WITH ME AS EACH CAME TO WELL SEE
THE NASTY SWEAT-SMELL HAD FAR GONE
*******
NOW I DANCE FOR WHEN I DANCE
I'M SWEATING, BUT NOT STALELY
AND ONLY ON MY SHINY BROW, WOULD YOU BELIEVE?
YES
WHEN I DANCE AND WHEN I GLOW
I'M TASTING SO SO SWEETLY
EACH DANCING LASS NEAR ME WANT TO BE
OH YES
WHEN I DANCE AND ONLY GLOW
I'M TASTING SO SO SWEETLY
EACH LASS NEAR ME WANT TO BE
WHEN I'M UP DANCING, YES TASTING VERY VERY SWEETLY
CERTAINLY EVERY DANCING LASS WANT TO BE WITH ME. YEA! |
