The German Lairdie

What merriment has taen the whigs, I think they be gaen mad, Sir, We' playing up their whiggish jigs, Their dancing may be sad, Sir. Sing heedle liltie, teedle liltie, Andum tandum tandie; Sing fal de dal, de dal lal lal, Sing howdle liltie dandie. The Revolution principles Has put their heads in bees, Sir; They're a' fa'n out amang themsels, Deil tak the first that grees, Sir. Sing heedle liltie, teedle liltie, Andum tandum tandie; Sing fal de dal, de dal lal lal, Sing howdle liltie dandie.
