A'm priggin, bawsey Bellickie –

wag a pinkie, fetch us roon t' fill the aifterneen.
An if ye wid, check oot the snib's nae on yer yett
nor dinna ging fidgin t' dauner ootby –
bit bide far ye are, git spunk for a lowe
an nine dirlins dab in the dreel.
Nae kiddin – if onything's shakkin at aa, jist gie's
the wird: a'm cockit canty on the cooch, ma denner's
doon, ma breeks are heich lik an ice cream cone.
