I'LL HAE NAE MAIR O' YER CHEESE

1.
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese,
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese.
The last I got, it stuck in ma throat,
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese.

I see you're a-bloomin again,
I see you're a-bloomin again.
In yer ee there's a blink,
In yer pockets a chink,
I see ye're a-bloomin again.
But

I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese,
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese,
The last I got, it stuck in ma throat,
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese.

2.
I'll eat nae mair
I'll eat nae mair
I'll eat nae mair a your cheese
For the last I ate has stuck in ma throat
And gien me the heart disease.
