Da fiddler ewe
A fiddler ewe took fok amok
Intae hell laek a egg yolk
Da spirallin staircase reek
Atil da blistered mooth an cheek
Hit led fok intae swamps
Laek deliveries wi uncan stamps
Aa da liquorice paet bogs
Laek treacle wrung fae dreepin rugs
So da ewe tempted da flock
Intae da tunnels laek patched socks
Da places whaar princes hock
Fir gifts tae Goldilocks
Hit joost startit as a joke
As if da ewe gae fok a poke
But den da tune becaam a croak
Da sky wis noo a muckle cloak
Dis wis da dead end fir da clock
Villages slockit tae nae mair fok
Back tae joost aa brunt rocks
Aert in ice laek bridal frocks
