They found this pipe
Put holes in it and blew,
A strange sound came out!
They fixed it to a cotton bag
And the air in the bag
Flowed through the pipe,
The strange noise sounded.
Tubes were put on the bag,
Tubes of different sizes
To let the air out,
Making different sounds.
Another pipe was put in
And air was blown in
To fill out the bag,
And as the bag was squeezed
The sound came out from the tubes,
Such a very strange sound
From this bag o’ pipes,
This bag o’ pipes invented,
Invented by the Irish.
The Irish did not like them,
Did not like the sound,
So they gave them to the Scots.
And the Scots have not yet seen it,
Not yet seen the joke,
The joke the Irish played,
The Irish played on the Scots.
