Oh, McPherson is rehearsing
And the bagpipes are reversing
While McPherson is rehearsing to swing
And from Edinburgh to Dundee
Every lad and every lassie
Knows McPherson is rehearsing to swing
"Ach, I dinna care", said Sandy
"If the elders now approve
Ay, the Chick Webb band's a dandy
And I'm in a mellow groove."
Now the bonnie, bonnie lassies
With the kilties on their chassis
Have forgotten all about the highland fling
Young and old folks get together
And there's trucking in the heather
When McPherson is rehearsing to swing
"Ach, I dinna care," said Sandy
"If the elders now approve
Ay, the Chick Webb band's a dandy
And I'm in a mellow groove."
Now the bonnie, bonnie lassies
With the kilties on their chassis
Have forgotten all about the highland fling
Young and old folks get together
And there's trucking in the heather
When McPherson is rehearsing to swing
