Jim Dixon's contribution above, cites the lyrics of Matt McGinn's reworking of the rhyme into a more complete song.
Jim may have got the lyrics from some printed source, but I can't help feeling that the line "For they both took a fancy tae a lassie, Faye Mulguye," should probably be "For they both took a fancy tae a lassie, **fae Milngavie**" - sounds the same, but....
From memory I also think that the line
"Then he shook off his whiskers and he sprinkled bloody cologne."
was: "Then he shaved off a' his whiskers and he sprinkled eau-de-cologne."
Cheers
