He's Neither Braw Nor Bonnie

 

——

When you're feeling cranky
  And as mad as you can be,
Just gang out and take a walk
  And see what you can see.
Be sure and look at the posters
  That's around about the town,
Especially if it's near time
  For Lauder coming 'round.

Chorus
For you'll laugh and you'll roar
  When Harry you see,
And if you don't it's about time
  A doctor you did see,
For he's neither braw nor bonnie,
  But it's just like this you see,
Guid gear put in sma packages,
  That's the reason he's wee.

So mind, and gang an see him
  When he comes to town;
And just as sure as anything
  He'll turn away that frown;
For fun and mirth he can't be beat,
  So when you're feeling blue
Just gang and see our Harry
  And he surely will cure you.
