THE BODDAMER HINGED THE MONKEY

Eence a ship sailed roond the coast
An' a' the men in her were lost
Barran' a monkey up a post
An' the Boddamers hinged the monkey-o!

A Boddamer up to the Monkey goes,
Says tak him awa' an' awa' he goes,
But the Monkey jumped up an' he bit off his nose,
An' the Boddamers hinged the monkey-o!

Noo the funeral was a grand affair
A' the Boddam folk were there
It mind't ye on the Glesga Fair
Fin the Boddamers hinged the monkey-o!

Noo a' the folk fae Peterheid
Cam' oot expecting t' get a feed
So they made it int' potted heid
Fin the Boddamers hinged the monkey-o!

Chorus.

Durra ma doo, ma doo-a-day
Durra ma doo ma daddy-o
Durra ma doo, ma doo-a-day
The Boddamers hinged the monkey, o!
