{Verse] {spoken}
C majorC
Now any you people are listening to this song,
C majorC
I want tae remind you that up in Scotland we're very moralistic people.
C majorC
And all our Scot's folk songs have got a strictly moral end.
C majorC
And we're coming up to this moral now, folks, and the end.
C majorC
Sae pay attention to any Dundee weaver, sae listen.

{Verse]

Come all you Dundee weavers an' tak' this advise frae me
           D MajorD        G+G
Never let a laddie an inch above your knee
C majorC                     FF      G+G
Never stand at the back of yer clothes or up agin' the wall
  FF         C majorC              G+G    C majorC
For if you do, you can safely say that your thingamejiger's awa'
  FF         C majorC              G+G    C majorC
For if you do, you can safely say that your thingamejiger's awa'
