you hear [bad word] at the fest
rowdy boys in ancient dress
but nae a one will near confess
what lurks beneath the tartan

could there be cloth or is there nay
behind the pleated curtain

a trophy or two and a ribbon of blue
what's up yours?

when Irish eyes are smiling
what do you think they're smiling for?
it's a nod and a wink to me lucky charms
what's up yours?

we stand here proud before the king
we love to pipe, we love to sing
perhaps I'll do the highland fling
to show you my affection

ye lasses with your scarlet sash
i'll give your necks a good whiplash
if you should turn and catch me crack
a smile in your direction

could be the loch ness monster
what's up yours?
you can give the lass her fairin
but the gems she will adore
are the ones she¹ll see above your knee
what's up yours?
