Wha's Fu'
A Traditional Scottish Ditty
I saw a Finch upon a steeple
Wha's fu, wha's fu'
I saw a finch upon a steeple
Wha's fu' nu'
I saw a finch upon a steeple
A peeping down on all the people
You're all blind drunk me boys
And I'm jolly fu'
I saw a snail chase a whale
All round aboot the prattie
field
I saw a neil chase the De'il
All roond aboot the tattie field
I saw a loose chase a moose
Aroond the riggin' o' our hoose
I saw a sow sowin' silk
Aroond aboot a bowl o'
milk
I saw a sheep shearin' corn
With a hook a boot it's horn
I saw a dog shoe a horse
With a hammer in it's arse
I saw the man in the moon
Drivin' taggets in his shoon
I saw the sun shinin' bright
In the middle of the night
Translation:
Wha’s Fu…….Who’s full !
Who’s full of what you
may ask?
Perhaps it’s a horn of
the Vicar's Heavenly Ale or a snout full of Badger Brew!
