Donald, Where's Yer Troosers

from Johnny Jump Up by DruidSong

/

about

The Scots have a reputation for being a dour and humorless race. I don’t believe that for a minute, and here is some supporting evidence. Donald, Where’s Yer Troosers? takes a poke at the Scottish tradition of wearing the kilt in preference to trousers, called troosers or troos in the dialect of English spoken by the Scots.

lyrics

I just came down from the Isle of Skye. I’m kind o’ big, but I’m awful shy
An the lasses shout as I go by, “Donald, where’s yer troos?”

Chorus:

May the wind blow high, may the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt I’ll go
And all the lasses shout “Hello! Donald, where’s your troosers?”

I went to a fancy ball, but it was slippery in the hall
And I was feared that I would fall, because I had nae troos.

I went down to London town to have a little fun in the underground
The ladies turned their heads around, saying, “Donald, where’s yer troos?”

The lasses love me, every one, but they must catch me if they can.
You canna put breecks on a Highland Man! I will nae wear the troos.
