As best I remember them

ANGUS AND THE KILT
Again - copyright Lolly Foy

Well Angus was a happy lad, for soon he would be wed.
He'd found a brisk and bonnie lass to take him to his bed.
And happier still his mother was that he had found a wife,
For truth be told, she'd often feared she'd be stuck with him for life.

CHORUS:
It's a fine thing, a bonnie thing, the grandest ever seen
(Repeat last line of verse)

In honor of the grand affair that wedding day would be,
She set about to weave a kilt the finest ever seen.
The night before the wedding when the kilt was finally done,
She called young Angus over and she tried it on her son.
Chorus

She wound the kilt about him and she wound, and wound, and wound.
And when she finished winding, it was still eight yard too long
"Never fear, my bonnie boy, we'll simply cut it off,
And to your blushin' bride we will give the extra cloth."
Chorus

Now Angus was so pleased, y'know, his heart had swelled with pride.
He felt that he must rush right out and show it to his bride.
'Twas raining so he grabbed a cloak to shield him on the moor,
But in his haste to be away his kilt slammed in the door.
Chorus

Well, Angus was in such a rush to show off for his bride,
He never really noticed that he'd left his kilt behind.
He knocked upon her door cried, "Let me in, I pray!
I've something that you've got to see before our wedding day."
Chorus:

Now Bridget let him in, y'know, but said, "Ye cannot stay.
For I've got to have my beauty sleep before our wedding day."
"I'll only be a moment, love, but it's so GRAND, my dear,
Ye've really got to see what I'm a-hiding under here."
Chorus

Now when the cloak was thrown aside and Angus stood quite bare,
We must admit she WAS impressed and tried hard not to stare.
"Oh, love, I'll ne'er see finer though far and far I roam."
"Well, lass," he cried, "That's nothing! I've got eight more yards at home!"
