See me, am Ah no' gallus, but?
Whit d'ye mean, naw?
Ye're naw sae bonny, yersen,
Ah dae see mauny cocks
crowin' around ye, hen!

Izzit a drink yer wantin'?

Aye right, doll, awfy dear tho'.
Hev' ye had a few
swallies tae help ye go?

Whit d'ye mean Ah kin whistle?
Ah'm wastin' time.
Ah thawt y'ed be fair gantin'
awn a braw yin like me.
Yiz need a guid scots plantin'.
