Donald Bought a Kilt by Stuart McLean
Oor Donald bought a kilt last week,
Och the lad’s no’ that bright,
For as soon as he put it on,
It gave the girls a fright.
Och it may all have been okay,
If he’d had it tailor made,
But he bought in frae, Poundstrechers,
And it’s too short I’m afraid.
Oor Donald’s nearly eight foot six,
For his age he’s awfy big,
And it’s more than the kilt thit swings,
When Donald does a jig.
Och Donald bought a kilt last week,
And he proved that he’s all male,
But he’ll no’ be wearin’ it for a while,
For they threw the lad in jail.
[ From No Rabbie Burns by Stuart McLean]
