My One and Only Highland Fling

(Verse 1)
[JOSH]
Though we're called a people of serious mind
'Tis often we dance, 'tis often we sing

[DINAH]
And bein' as human as all humankind
We aren't superior to havin' a fling

[JOSH]
I'm taking the fling of a lifetime

[DINAH]
The fling of a husband and wife-time

(Chorus 1)
[JOSH]
A-when I a-went romancing
I a-gave no thought to any wedding ring
Every bonnie lassie was
My highland fling

A-no chance was I chancing
I am not the man ya dangle on a string
I was canny waitin' for the
Real, real thing

A-though I danced each girl in a twist and a-twirl
Ney one would do
And I went a-my way 'til the fatal day
In thе fling I was flung a-with you
Oh

Now my heart is prancin'
A-gay as a lark and happy as a king
The years I'll wеather, in the hame on the heather
With my one and only highland fling

(Spoken)
I thought you were fallin' for Andy MacPherson

[DINAH]
Ney, ney. He became an impossible person
But what about you and that Connie MacKenzie?

[JOSH]
She talked when I putted and drove me to frenzy
But what of the lad known as Bobby MacDougal?

[DINAH]
It pays to be thrifty, but he was too frugal
And weren't ya daft about Megan McDermot?

[JOSH]
I tasted her cooking. T'would make me a hermit
How jealous I was of McDonald McCutcheon

[DINAH]
His neck had a head on, but there wasn't much in

[JOSH]
And what about Sandy?

[DINAH]
His hands were too handy
And wasn't there a Jenny?

[JOSH]
I'm not wantin' any
I'm not wantin' any but you

(Chorus 2)
[DINAH]
When I went a-dancin'
No special lad I was encouragin'
Every lackly laddie was
My highland fling

No glance I was glancin'
Well, nothin' really worth a-mentionin'
Hopin', watchin', waitin' for the
Real, real thing

Though they spoke me soft in the moonlit oft'
Ney one would do
'Til it came to pass to this lucky lass
In a fling I was flung with you
Oh

Now my heart is prancin'
Nothin' about ya I'd be alterin'
The years I'll weather, in the hame on the heather
With me one and only highland fling
