Dance To Your Daddy

from Newcastle, on the left; Scottish version on the right

Dance to your daddy, My little babby, Dance to your daddy, My little lamb! You shall have a fishy In a little dishy, You shall have a fishy When the boat comes in. Dance to your daddy, My little babby, Dance to your daddy, My little lamb! You shall have an apple, You shall have a plum, You shall have a rattle-basket, When your dad comes home.

Dance to your daddy, My bonnie laddy, Dance to your daddy, My bonnie lamb. You shall get a fishy, In a little dishy, You shall get a fishy, When the boat comes in. You shall get a coatie, And a pair of breekies, And you'll get an eggy, And a bit of ham. You shall get a pony, Fit to ride for ony, And you'll get a whippy, For to make him gang. Dance to your daddy, My bonnie laddy, Dance to your daddy, My bonnie lamb.
