While the chanter with his merry pipes,
Struck up a lilt so gaily O.
Teddery, teddery,
Struck up a lilt so gaily O.
Teddery, teddery,
And then at night O what delight
To see them capering and prancing Oǃ
An opera or ball was nothing at all
Compar'd to the style of their dancing O.
And then to see old father Quipes
Beating time with his shilelah O,
While the chanter with his merry pipes
Struck up a lilt so gaily O.
Teddery, teddery &c.

Struck up a lilt so gaily O.
Teddery, teddery &c.
And now the knot so sucky are got,
They'll go to sleep without rocking O:
While the bride-maids fair so gravely prepare,
For throwing of the stocking O.
Dacadems we'll have says father Quipes,
And the bride was kissed genteelly O,
While, to wish them fun the merry pipes
Struck up a lilt so gaily O.
Teddery, teddery. &c.
