Refrain
I’m a scion of the house of High-ball
My ancestsors were Hot Scotch boys
In my football days a rusher
I was over-fond of Usher
And King William added to my joys
And I often used to sneak a sly-ball
In the foxey way the fox employs
But I learned to take them fewer
When I heard the house of Dewar
Was related to the House of High-ball
