When you cross over the Tweed River at Berwick
Everywhere you go’s - doon-toon
When you toss cabers and the music’s Proclaimers
See the heather grow - doon-toon
Just tell Groundskeeper Willie that his accent is a bitty
Little hard to inter-pret - he’ll utter something witty
Och-aye, the nooo
You’ll find kilts and sporrons there
They’re well aware of past troubles, so English: beware!
Long ‘go doon-toon, Bannockburn: famous war
Doon-toon - Edward’s side put to sword
Doon-toon - everything's Robert the Bruce!
Tartan-clad fitba fans at Hampden abound there
Where there’s often snow - doon-toon
World Cup’s our goal but when we make it, we blow, do
Four years: more morose - doon-toon
Envision, do, the swimmin’ of a loch-bound Nessie roamin’
A wee beastie in the burn - they fought wee Caledonians
(Romans met end…)
For fighting’s much fun, ye ken
Just go to Rangers v Celtic, wear green down blue end
Wander doon-toon, check out the kirks tonight
Doon-toon - Ol’ Rabby Burns recite
Doon-toon - haggis is food-ish blight - wow!
Doon-toon
Doon-toon
Doon-toon
Doon-toon
And Connery and Connolly
Are hard to understand too
Someone who in tartans viewed
(that’s garbed in kirtles plaid) do
Mouth puzzling sounds
Brogue speaking rogues, we are, yeah!
We should go beat up some Sassenachs, to show them we care
So go doon-toon, shrill is the bagpipe’s call
Doon-toon - Kintyre-ish mull recalled
Doon-toon - Hadrian’s Wall’s un-renewed
Doon-toon, doon-toon, doon-toon, doon-toon...
Everywhere you go’s - doon-toon
When you toss cabers and the music’s Proclaimers
See the heather grow - doon-toon

"everything's Robert the Bruce!" one of many bonnie lines.
Heh heh,Phil, I was a-wonderin' whether I would be picked up that. I had to take a liberty in the very first line. It's close though! Good pick up, ye wee croquet playing mint munchin' sassenach ;-p
You left out the most famous Scots of all!! B-A-Y, B-A-Y... :) Seriously, what Alvin said! 3 x Mc5's.
I've do'in da tune but ya got me with the McHistory. Did this guy know Mel Gibson? Sounds like he liked to pick fights with any .raat baastard".
This parody played out so well to the OS. I throughly enjoyed it all except for the haggis. I guest one fights like what one eats.
