There's a good old Scottish custom that has stood the test of time
It's a custom that's been carried out in every land and clime
Wherever Scots forgather it's aye the usual thing
Just before we say goodnight, we raise our cups and sing

Just a wee docht and doris, just a wee dram that's a'
Just a wee docht and doris before we gang awa'
There's a wee wife awaiting in a wee butt and ben
If you can say its a braw bricht moon licht nicht
Well yer all right, ye ken

Just a wee docht and doris, just a wee dram that's a'
Just a wee docht and doris before we gang awa'
There's a wee wife awaiting in a wee butt and ben
If you can say its a braw bricht moon licht nicht
Well yer all right, ye ken

I like a man, that is a man, a man that's straight and fair
A sort of man who will and can in all things do his share
I like a man, a jolly man, the sort of man you know
The chap that slaps your back and says: “Mon Jock, before we go”

Just a wee docht and doris, just a wee dram that's a'
Just a wee docht and doris before we gang awa'
There's a wee wife awaiting in a wee butt and ben
If you can say its a braw bricht moon licht nicht
Well yer all right, ye ken

Just a wee docht and doris, just a wee dram that's a'
Just a wee docht and doris before we gang awa'
There's a wee wife awaiting in a wee butt and ben
If you can say its a braw bricht moon licht nicht
Well yer all right, ye ken

I'll invite ye a' some other nicht, with yer friend and bring yer wive
And I'll guarantee we'll have the grandest nicht in all our lives
We'll have the bagpipes skirling, we'll make the rafters ring
And when yer tired and sleepy, why I'll wake yer up an' sing: 

Just a wee docht and doris, just a wee dram that's a'
Just a wee docht and doris before we gang awa'
There's a wee wife awaiting in a wee butt and ben
If you can say its a braw bricht moon licht nicht
Well yer all right, ye ken
