The Ballad of  the Wee Bonnie Sots
 
Intro
We have heard folks repeat
That you are what you eat.
But maybe those people are wrong.
For we Sots tend to think
That you are what you drink
And the 'proof' is right here in our song.
 
Verse
Have you heard of the Wee Bonnie Sots?
We've been singing since we were just tots.
We were ever so young
The first time we sung,
Our noses were running with snots.
And by running, we mean running a lot.
And we sang and we danced
And we drank and romanced
And we fought like a clan full of Scots.
 
Have you heard of the Wee Bonnie Sots?
We’re wenches; we’re sultry; we’re hot.
We sing through the night
‘Til the wee morning light
And drink all the drinks that you've got.
But drunkards are something we're not,
We think it's absurd
To use such a word.
'Drunkess' is the word we were taught.
 
Chorus
We Sots are so sweet and so bonnie.
We sing and we drink and we nonnie.
We sing in the pub,
And drink in the tub,
And nonnie with Dickey and Johnny.
 
Did you know that the wee Bonnie Sots
Just love to go sailing on yachts?
We weather the storms
And round all the horns
And stand to go pee in a pot.
But money is something we’ve got
To get more of, so please,
If we beg on our knees,
'Tis not an ulterior plot.
 
Aye, everyone calls us the Sots,
Making music that hits the right spots.
We’re a feast for your ears
That goes better with beers
And buns full of wieners and brats.
But sweet voices ain't all that we gots.
We have supple young... minds
And curvaceous... designs
Tattooed where a Bonnie Sot squats.
 
Repeat chorus
 
Oh, woe and alas for we Sots!
Our poor nubbies are covered with spots!      
Now we have your attention,
Did we happen to mention
It's your turn to buy the next shots?
So drink to what shan't be forgot--
To the health of each knight
That begged for the right
To sleep on the Bonnie Sots' cot.
 
Big finish
Every laddie and lass
Lift up your full glass
As we offer this crumby, wry toast
From the Wee Bonny Sots
To each Hottentot
May your rump never burn at a roast!
