i’ve just come down
from the isle of skye
i’m not very big and i’m awful shy
and the lassies shout when i go by
donald where’s your troosers
let the wind blow high
let the wind blow low
through the streets
in my kilt i’ll go
all the lassies say hello
donald where’s your troosers
a lassie took me to a ball
and it was slippery in the hall
and i was feared that i would fall
for i had nae on my troosers
repeat
now i went down to london town
and i had some fun in the underground
the ladies turned their heads around
saying donald where are your trousers
repeat
to wear the kilt is my delight
it is not wrong i know it’s right
the highlanders would get a fright
if they saw me in the trousers
repeat
the lassies want me every one
well let them catch me if they can
you canna take the breaks
if a highland man
and i don’t wear the troosers
repeat
donald where’s your troosers
donald where’s your troo
oh well that’s the way
we sing the song in scotland
but of course the song might
have more international appeal
sung something like this
one two three four
well i’ve just come down
from the isle of skye
i’m not very big and i’m awful shy
the lassies shout when i go by
hey donald where’s your troosers
let the wind blow high
let the wind blow low
through the streets
in my kilt i’ll go
all the lassies shout go go
donald where’s your troosers
oh man i’m all rock and roll
and i’m amoving and
agrooving to save my soul
grab your kilt and go go go
hey donald where’s your troosers
let the wind blow high
let the wind blow low
through the streets
in my kilt i’ll go
oh yeah go go go
hey donald where’s your troosers
hey donald where’s your troosers
yeah hey donald
hey just a minute
what are you doing there
man i’m rocking it man
man i’m really moving it man
well just you stop rocking it
and moving it man
the song should be sung
just exactly like this
i’ve just come down
from the isle of skye
i’m not very big and i’m awful shy
and the lassies shout when i go by
donald where’s your troosers
repeat
donald where’s your troosers
