Dance to your daddy
My little laddy
Dance to your daddy
My little man

Thou shalt have a fish
Thou shalt have a fin
Thou shalt have a haddock
When the boat comes in

Thou shalt have a codling
Boiled in a pan
Dance to your daddy
My little man

Dance to your daddy
My little laddy
Dance to your daddy
My little man

When thou art a man
And fit to take a wife
Thou shalt wed a maid
And love her all your life

She shall be your lassie
Thou shalt be her man
Dance to your daddy
My little man
