Oh ye canny spend a dollar when ye're deid
No ye canny spend a dollar when ye're deid
Singing, Ding… Dong… Dollar…, everybody holler
Ye canny spend a dollar when ye're deid
O the Yanks have juist drapt anchor in Dunoon
And they've had a civic welcome fae the toon
As they cam up the measured mile
Bonnie Mary o Argyll
Wis wearing spangled drawers ablow her goun
An the publicans will aa be daein swell
For it's juist the thing that's sure tae ring the bell
O the dollars they will jingle
They'll be no a lassie single,
Even though they maybe blaw us an tae hell
But the Glesca Moderator disnae mind
In fact he thinks the Yanks are awfy kind
For if it's Heaven that ye're goin'
It's a quicker way than rowin,
And there's sure tae be naebody left behind
Oh ye canny spend a dollar when ye're deid
Sue teel Kennedy he’s got tae keep the heid
Singing, Ding… Dong… Dollar…, everybody holler
Ye canny spend a dollar when ye're deid
No ye canny spend a dollar when ye're deid
Singing, Ding… Dong… Dollar…, everybody holler
Ye canny spend a dollar when ye're deid
O the Yanks have juist drapt anchor in Dunoon
And they've had a civic welcome fae the toon
As they cam up the measured mile
Bonnie Mary o Argyll
Wis wearing spangled drawers ablow her goun
An the publicans will aa be daein swell
For it's juist the thing that's sure tae ring the bell
