[Em]Once upon a time I drank a little wine
Was as [Am]happy as could be, happy as could be
Now I'm [D]just like a cat on a [D7]hot tin roof
Baby, [F]what do you think you're [G]doin' to me ?

[C]Told you once before and I won't tell you no more


So get [F]down, get [C]down, get [Dm]down
You're a [G7]bad dog, baby, [F]but I still [G]want you a[Em]round, a[Am]round
[F] I still want [G]you [C]around, aye aye [G]aye

[C] I don't give a damn and I'd like you if you can to
Get [F]down, get [C]down, get [Dm]down
You're a [G7]bad dog, baby, [F]but I still [G]want you [C]'round

He said, [D]-here comes the big boss! [Em]-Let’s get it on!
We took them [D]all and made a stand, started [Em]swaying with the hands
Sudden [D]motion made me skip, now we're[A]into a brand new trick

I'm [F]going back home to stay
Yes, I'm [C]walking to New Orleans

You [C]used to be my honey


Till [F] I lost all my money
No [G]use for me to cry
I’ll [F]see you by and by
'Cause I`m [C]walking to New Orleans

And I've [C]got no time for talking


I've [F]got to keep on walking
So New [G]Orleans is my home
That's the [F]reason why I'm gone
Yes I`m [C]walking to New Orleans
I`m [C]walking to New Orleans to fade….

Donald Where's Your Troosers?


Andy Stewart & Neil Grant 1961

[Am] I've just come down from the Isle of Skye


[G] I'm no very big and I'm awful shy
[Am]And the lassies shout as I go by
[G]"Donald, Where's Your [Am]Troosers?"

Chorus: [Am]Let the wind blow high and the wind blow low
[G]Through the streets in my kilt I'll go
[Am]All the lassies say, "Hello!
[G]Donald, where's your [Am]troosers?"

[Am] [Am]

[Am]A lassie took me to a ball


[G]And it was slippery in the hall
[Am] I was feared that I wid fall
[G]'Cause I hadnae on ma [Am]troosers

Chorus

[Am]Now I went down to London town


[G]And I had some fun in the underground
[Am]All the ladies turned their heads around, saying
[G]"Donald, where are your [Am]trousers?"

Chorus

[Am]To wear the kilt is my delight


[G] It is not wrong, I know it's right
[Am]The Highlanders would get a fright
[G]If they saw me in my [Am]troosers

Chorus

[Am]The lassies want me every one


[G]Well let them catch me if they can
[Am]You cannae put the breeks on a Highland man
[G]An' I don't wear the [Am]troosers
Final Chorus
[G]Donald, where's your [Am]troosers?" x3 at the end (Elvis impersonation optional!)
