Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum

Do you recall some years ago?

Up in the mountains that were white with snow

Inside a cavern, McDougal he was planning

There's gonna be a showdown

With somebody he knows

Well, he's been there a year or so

Something will happen very soon, I know

I hear him playing his bagpipes every morning

I think that it's a warning

He's gathering the clan

Soon you'll hear the sound of people shouting

You will see the claymores in their hands

If you knew the reason for their fighting

You would never understand

"Oh, tweedle dee, oh, tweedle dum"

The tune McDougal always used to hum

While he was fighting his rival clan McGregor

Dishonour he would never

The tartan of his clan
