I'll Hae Nae Mair o' Yer Cheese

I'll Hae Nae Mair o' Yer Cheese

     1.
     I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese,
     I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese.
     The last I got, it stuck in ma throat,
     I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese.

     I see you're a-bloomin again,
     I see you're a-bloomin again.
     In yer ee there's a blink,
     In yer pockets a chink,
     I see ye're a-bloomin again.
                                  But

     I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese,
     I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese,
     The last I got, it stuck in ma throat,
     I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese.

     2.
     I'll eat nae mair
     I'll eat nae mair
     I'll eat nae mair a your cheese
     For the last I ate has stuck in ma throat
     And gien me the heart disease.
