``` This is the horse and the hound and the horn That belonged to the farmer sowing his corn That kept the cock that crowed in the morn That woke the priest all shaven and shorn That married the man all tattered and torn That kissed the maiden all forlorn That milked the cow with the crumpled horn That tossed the dog that worried the cat That killed the rat that ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built. ``` ---

To the lords in convention 'twas Claverhouse spoke: Ere the King’s crown goes down, there’ll be crowns to be broke So, each cavalier who loves honor and me Led him follow the bonnets of Bonnie Dundee Come, fill up my cup and come fill up my can! Come, saddle my horses and call out my men! Unhook the West Port and let us gae free, For it’s up wi’ the bonnets o’ Bonnie Dundee! Dundee, he is mounted, and he rides doon the street The bells, they ring backward, the drums, they do beat But the Provost, that douce man says: Just let him be, For the toon is well rid o’ that deevil, Dundee! Come, fill up my cup and come fill up my can! Come, saddle my horses and call out my men! Unhook the West Port and let us gae free, For it’s up wi’ the bonnets o’ Bonnie Dundee! There are hills beyond Pentland, there are lands beyond Forth Be there kings in the South, there are chiefs in the North There are brave _Duniewassals_, three thousand times three, Fly high for the bonnets of Bonnie Dundee Come, fill up my cup and come fill up my can! Come, saddle my horses and call out my men! Unhook the West Port and let us gae free, For it’s up wi’ the bonnets o’ Bonnie Dundee! Then, awa’ frae the hills, tae the lee and the rocks Ere I own a usurper, I’ll crouch wi’ the fox So tremble, false Whigs, in the midst o’ your glee, Ye hae no seen the last o’ my bonnets and me! Come, fill up my cup and come fill up my can! Come, saddle my horses and call out my men! Unhook the West Port and let us gae free, For it’s up wi’ the bonnets o’ Bonnie Dundee! Come, fill up my cup and come fill up my can! Come, saddle my horses and call out my men! Unhook the West Port and let us gae free, For it’s up wi’ the bonnets o’ Bonnie Dundee! **ALBA GU BRATH!!!** ---

Here’s the story, of a lovely lady, Who was bringing up three very lovely girls. All of them had hair of gold, Like their mother, The youngest one in curls. Here’s the story, of a man named Brady, Who was busy with three boys of his own. They were four men, Living all together, But they were all alone. Till the one day when the lady met this fellow, and they knew that it was much more than a hunch That this group must somehow form a family. That’s the way we all became the Brady Bunch. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---
