Just as an experiment, I'm going to try a blue clicky thing. If it works it will lead to some light-hearted words I wrote to update the song in the light of the modern recognition for the name Ronald MacDonald. If it doesn't work... Oh well I tried. I learned the song off of a John Allen Cameron record a friend had years ago.

There was a thread a while ago were the word leezie, among others, was discussed and I think that it works as an endearment this song. I had heard it as Lizzy but found it in books as Leezie. I don't think it matters if you think of it as a name or an endearment but the affectionate form is perhaps a little warmer, personal opinion only of course.

Well okay. I'll give it a shot. Any corporations want to sponsor me? Here's what I can do.

FAST LEEZIE LINDSAY

Will ye gang tae the burgers Fast Leezie?
Will ye gang tae the burgers wi' me?
Will ye gang tae the burgers Fast Leezie?
My pride and cashier for tae be?

Will I gang tae the burgers wi' you sir?
Such a thing it never could be
For I know not the name you have taken
Or why you grin so wi-de-ly.

Oh Leezie your mind it is mista'en
If it sees but a poor fool in me
For my name it is Ronald MacDonald
A vendor of great quantity.

She has traded her clothes from The GAP
For shirts striped like bright candy
And she's gone with Clown Ronald MacDonald
His pride and cashier for tae be.

Is it fries that ye want with that order?
Is this for tae stay or tae go?
Did ye want a drink with that Big Mac?
Fast Leezie's become quite the pro.
