I'm workin' wae a grocer
at the corner o' o'or street;
I go all his messages
for "oneandsix" a week,
When the shop is full o' folk,
I've got to serve as well,
And when I served the folk I've served,
I always serve mysel'

Oh! I'm up, up early in the mornin'
Whether the weather it is rain or shine,
I'm up and doon and roon
A' the hooses in the toon,
With my basket till it's half past nine.

Oh! I'm up, up early in the mornin'
Whether the weather it is rain or shine,
I'm up and doon and roon
A' the hooses in the toon,
With my basket till it's half past nine.

We're goin' to ha'e a sale next week
o' diff'rent kinds o' teas,
Lamb and ham and eggs,
and all the diff'rent sort o' cheese,
I ken it's time the cheese was sold.
'cause it can really talk!
A gorgonzola last week ask'd
a ham oot for a walk.

Oh! I'm up, up early in the mornin'
Whether the weather it is rain or shine,
I'm up and doon and roon
A' the hooses in the toon,
With my basket till it's half past nine.

Oh! I'm up, up early in the mornin'
Whether the weather it is rain or shine,
I'm up and doon and roon
A' the hooses in the toon,
With my basket till it's half past nine.
