THE SCOTCH ERRAND BOY
As sung by Harry Lauder, 1911.

1. I'm workin' wi' a grocer at the corner of our street,
An' I go all his messages for one an' six a week,
An' when the shop is fu' o' folk; I've got to serve as well,
An' when I've served the folks upstairs, I sometimes serve masel'.

CHORUS: Oh, I'm up, up airly in the mornin',
Whether weather is the rain or shine.
I'm up an doon an roon a' the hooses in the toon
Wi' ma basket till it's half-past nine. REPEAT

2. An we're goin' tae have a sale next week o' different kinds o' teas,
An' lamb an' ham an' eggs an' all the different sorts o' cheeses,
An' noo it's time the cheese was sold 'cause it could really talk!
A gorgonzola last nicht asked the ham out for a walk!
