Lyrics
Refrain
Hoot mon! Outta m’ way!
Who do ya think ya are?
It’s the toe of m’ boot, mon
If ya push too far. Hoot mon!
This is the day I celebrate m’ birth
The seventh son of a seventh son
Of a son-of-a-gun from Perth
Verse
Who can play the drums?
Is there a piper in the town?
Have them put their kilts on
And come right down
All ye brawny lads
Whether you’re poor or men of wealth
Meet me in the tavern to drink my health
Now, who’s that standin’ in my path?
Don’t you know you’re face to face
With Robbie MacMath?
Patter
I’ve flogged Kilgallon and clouted MacAllan
And pretty near crippled MacQueen
MacDuff used to hide
But I’ve beat up MacBride
And I’ve belted out Barney MacDean
MacGraw and MacGregor
Looked worse than a beggar
And had to go home for a bath
You’ll never look nobby by makin’ a hobby
Of sparrin’ with Robbie MacMath
