TtBfSS- hope this helps, these are the words as I know them.Tune sort of 'putting on the style'- Lonnie Donegan. THE NEW TEACHER (Written by Jim Douglas) chorus: Now is a Dove a Doo Dad? Is a Doo a Dove? And is a cow a coo Dad? A sparrow jist a spyug? And is a wall a wa' Dad? Is a dog a dug? She's gawn tae warm ma ear Dad Instead o' skelp ma lug. Oor new teacher's awfi posh Dad She chinges aw oor names Oor Shuggie is now 'Hugh' Dad And Jimmy's always 'James' 'Am puzzled wi' it a' Dad Tae why she shoogles words Ans ah must be glaekit no' tae ken That feathered friends are 'burds' chorus. Now there's twa words for everything They're shoogled in ma heid How can I be well bred Dad When ah keep sayin' 'breed' Now is a crow a 'craw' Dad? Is a bull a 'buul'? A'm goin' tae try ma best Dad Ah wuull, ah wuull, ah wuull. chorus. Well ye've taught me aw wrong Dad Ye call a ball a 'baw' Yer wife is now my mother Dad Ye said she wiz ma maw It fairly maks me scunnered Ah'll never pass ma test A'm no sure whit a'm wearing noo - a semmet or a vest. chorus
