Foo muckle siller wull ye spend On pressies fer yer freens ? Or some fer aa the faimily Be they auld or in their teens . A new name fer Christmas “The Retail Festival” it is ca’ed Fin thingies they git oot o han An aa bugger gyaangs fair mad . Noo a’m nae Scrooge –far fae it Bit a wid fair draw the line At gittin awa intae debt Afore singin “Auld Lang Syne”. . A’m aa fer gien a wee present Tae faimily or fowk lang kent Some fowk tho’ dinna hae a clue Aboot foo muckle they hiv spent |
A freen o mine he’s renegin He says he’s seen the licht An disna gie twa hoots If fowk noo think him ticht . He’s nae gien ony mair Presents he classes “stuff” He’ll buy a wee bottle o booze Or maybe a sma plum duff . He says it’s far mair practical As he kens jist fa likes fit Instead o maybe hannin ower Fit fowk micht class as shit . Only costs him haaf the price O things he wid normally gie An he winna hae tae worry Fae debt he wull bide free |
