Lyr Req: The Scotsman + The Dogs' Party

Looking for lyrics to these two humorous songs. I heard them both played by Bryan Bowers the autoharp master. The second one he called "The Dog's They Had a Party" and it was to the melody of the old hymn "The Church is One Foundation". Thanks in advance.

BTW...both these were jokes before they were songs; I heard them long before Bryan Bowers got them.....some clever person just adapted them. I will see if I can find the tapes/records with them...

Look in the database for
[Scotsman's Kilt]
[Dogs Meeting]
I think these are the ones you want

Susan correctly notes that "The Scotsman" by Mike Cross is in the database. That is the same song that Bryan Bowers also recorded. There is an extended thread on this song in the archives. You can:

A. Go back to May 22, 1997.

B. Go to Forum Search, enter Mike Cross in "body" box, then click on Scotsman, then go to full thread

C Go to Forum Search, enter "scotsman" in "body" box, go down to thread (It came up as #27 for me)

A friend of mine does "The Dogs they had a Party", a little differently than the version in the database. He is also a friend of Bryan Bowers, so maybe learned it from him. I will see if he will give me the lyrics he uses.

Am I not listenning right or is the midi file for the Dogs Meeting not complete? Seems like it's intended to be the first two verses (or verse and Chorus) but I cant see how the last three lines fit into the tune.
