Doon there among the Heather

"Doon there among the Heather"

Doon there among the heather

You'll see a nifty sight

Just take care to make no sound

Nae good if you gie'em a fright

As the sun doth slumber

They appear from underground

And they rummage in the tussocks

And yet seldom make a sound

As quiet as a wing-ed owl

As timid as a kitten

Such adorable little beasties

One glance and you'll be smitten

One side shorter than the other

This enables them to walk

Where the land does tilt asunder

They're as stable as a rock

Large-ish ears to hear the wind blow

They ne'er miss a squeak

Tis in their best interests

Braw hearing at its peak

If you're quiet and patient

And lie there on the grass

You'll see some ting worth speakin' of

To tell yer bonnie lass

For doon among the heather-sprechs

The Haggii there do mosey

At one with nature and ever-happy

They're aw-ways aye be cosy
