The larky lad frae the pantry
Skipp’t through the muckle ha’;
He had sma’ fear o’ the gentry
And his respec’ was sma’
He cockit his face richt merry;
And as he jiggit on
His mou’ was round as a cherry
Like he whistled a braw tune
And monie a noble body
Glower’d doun frae his frame o’ gowd
On the plisky pantry-laddie
Wha was sae merry and royd
