Summary
Belle Stewart sings and explains both cant and Scots versions of the song 'Dance to your Daddy':
Grib tae yer naiskel, my beenship kinchen,
Grib tae yer naiskel till the beerie bings anee.
You'll feek a flattrin, intae a teeknie mahzie
If ye grib tae yer naiskel till the beerie bings avree.
Dance tae yer daddy, my bonnie laddie.
Dance tae yer daddy tae the boat comes in.
You'll hae a fishie in a little dishie
If you dance to your daddy till the boat comes in.
