From a Scot ... "Canny" means "clever" (careful & sly too) and "cannae" means "can't" This is a Scots version of the contraction for "can not". There's also "willnae" (will not) and every child's favorite "didnae", as in "I didnae do it, Mum!" I have these lyrics and was wondering if anyone could fill in the blanks? [not the prettiest of lyrics, but my son loves them!!] O' ye Canny Shove yer Granny aff the Bus Oh, ye cannae shove yer Granny aff a bus No, ye cannae shove yer Granny aff a bus Oh, ye cannae shove yer Granny, For she's yer Mammy's Mammy No, ye cannae shove yer Granny aff a bus Singing I will if you will so will I, etc Ye can shove yer ither Granny aff a bus … Cos she's yer Daddy's Mammy Singing I will if you will so will I, etc Ye can shove yer drunken uncle aff a bus … For he needs another bottle Singing I will if you will so will I, etc Ye can shove yer ugly cousin aff the bus Cos she's ???????? (anyone??) Singing I will if you will so will I Ye can shove yer Baby Brother Brother aff a bus (Not your baby brother!) Ye can shove yer Baby Brother Brother aff a bus (oh that's so mean) Ye can shove yer Baby Brother Brother Cos ???????? (anyone??) But ye cannae shove yer Granny aff a bus (repeat first verse)
