GUEST,Shropshire Kim Origins: Nickety, nackety, noo../Cooper of Fife (69* d) RE: Req: Nickety, nackety, noo, noo, noo 04 Feb 08


I was taught this version:
"There was an old prophecy found in a bog
Nicketty nacketty noo noo noo
We should be ruled by an ass and a dog
Hey willy wollocky hoo John Dougal Malone quo rushetty roo roo roo


And now that prophecy has come to pass
Nicketty nacketty noo noo noo
"Name" is the dog and "name" is the ass
Hey willy wollocky hoo John Dougal Malone quo rushetty roo roo roo

There were more verses and I can't remember the two names involved. I think it came from a Cecil Sharp school song book.
