Dance to your daddy, my little laddie,
Dance to your daddy, my little man.
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie,
Dance to your daddy, my little man.
You shall have a fish and you shall have a fin,
You shall have a herring when the boat comes in.
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie,
Dance to your daddy, my little man.
When you are a man and fit to take a wife,
You shall have a lassie; love her all your life.
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie,
Dance to your daddy, my little man.
She will be a lassie; you will be a man;
You shall have a family; love them all you can.
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie,
Dance to your daddy, my little man.
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie,
Dance to your daddy, my little man.
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie,
Dance to your daddy, my little man.
