I WONDER WHAT RAB BURNS WAD SAY
ABOOT THE LASSIES O’ THE DAY
WHIT HE’D SAY O’ THIS SHORT SKIRT MOVEMENT
LIKE ME HE’D SAY "A GREAT IMPROVEMENT"
AN’ A LANG SICHT BETTER FAR, THAN WHEN
THEY WALKED LIKE SOMEE AULD CLOAKING HEN
THEIR DRESSES TRAILIN’ IN THE GLAUR
TAE SHOW THEIR LEGS THEY WADNA’ DAUR
THEIR THROATS IN STIFF NECK BANDS ENCASED
THEIR BODIES YANKED IN AT THE WAIST
THEIR HAIR DUN UP IN TWISTS AND KNOTS
LANG SKIRTS AND FLANNEL PETTICOATS
AYE, BETTER FAR IN EVERY WAY
THAN WHIT THEY WERE IN MY YOUNG DAY
THE MEN THEN A’ ADMIRED THEIR CHEEKS
PAID MAIR ATTENTION TAE THEIR BREEKS
AN’ THE YOUNG YINS, THEY ARE NO TO BLAME
FOR NOO THEIR GRANNIES DRESS THE SAME
THEY’RE NO OWER AULD AT SIXTY THREE
TAE WEAR SKIRTS ABOVE THE KNEE
AN JUST AS FRISKIE AS CAN BE
I OFTEN THINK ITS GREAT TO SEE
AULD HENS WHOS YOUTH IS LANG SYNE OWER
DRESSED UP LIKE GIRLS OF TWENTY FOWER
YOU’D THINK THEY’RE YOUNG THINGS OOT ON TRIAL
UNTIL THEY TURN AND SHOW THEIR DIAL
BUT LIKE ITER THING THAT ARE FORBIDDEN
THERES LEGS THAT WAD BE BETTER HIDDEN
THERES SOME LIKE STICKS AND SOME LIKE POKERS
CAN SCARCE HAUD UP THEIR CAMI BOKERS
BUT THEN THERE’S LOTS O’ ITHER STUFF
O’ THEM YE CANNA’ SEE ENOUGH
I HOPE THAT NAUGHT WILL COME TAE MAUR
THE SIGHTS WE SEE WHEN ON THE CAUR
IN BOUNCES FOUR OR FIVE YOUNG QUEENS
A’ PLUMP AND STRAPPIN IN THEIR TEENS
WI’ SKIRTS WEEL UP ABOVE THEIR KNEE
THEY PLANT THEIRSELVES IN FRONT O’ ME
THEY’RE NEITHER SHY, NOR BLATE, NOR FEG
THEY TURN AND TWIST AN’ SHOW THEIR LEG
AN IF THEIR BREEKS WERE MADE LIKE LUMS
I’M SHAIR I’D OFTEN SEE THEIR BUMS
WHIT SICHTS WE SEE WHEN STAIRS ASCENDING
OR IF BY CHANCE YE CATCH THEM BENDING
THERES SOME AULD CRANKS WAD LIKE TO SHAME THEM
BUT AS FOR ME, I’D NEVER BLAME THEM
IN FACT I’D BE THE FIRST TAE LEND HER
A HAND. TAE FASTEN HER SUSPENDER
IN SUMMER WHEN THE SUN DOES SHINE
I HA’E MAE DOOT IF MAUN BE FINE
THEY FEEL THE BREEZE BLAW ROON THEIR KNEES
AN UP THEIR LEGS A ‘ TRIMMED WI’ LACE
AN ‘ VANISH IN SOME SACRED PLACE
BUT WHEN THE DAYS ARE CAULD AN’ WET
THEIR THOUGHTS RETURN TO FLANNELETTE
SOME SAY IN JEST, AN SOME IN ANGER
THAT DRESSES SHOULD BE WORN MUCH LONGER
THAT MAY BE SO, I HA’E MY DOOTS
LANG SKIRTS AN’ ‘LASTIC SIDED BOOTS
HAVE HAD THEIR DAY YE’LL NAE MAIR SEE THEM
UNLESS IT BE IN SOME MUSEUM
I’M SORRY FOR THE PAIR DRESSMAKER
FOR VERY SOON THEY’LL A’ FORSAKE HER
THE GAME WILL NO BE WORTH A DOCKEN
TAE MAK A SKRT TAE MEET THE STOCKIN
AN THEY SAY THAT IN A YEAR OR TWA
THEY’LL NO’ WEAR ANY DRESS AT A’
IF TAT BE SO, THEN FOGE BE KIN’
AN AYE KEEP ME FRAE TURNING BLIN’
GOD BLESS THEM A’ THEY HA’E MY THANKS
WHAT SHOW A WELL MADE PAIR O’ SHANKS.
