lyrics

Mon’ gaither roon ab’dy baith fair and baith fause,
And swear risin’ watters aroon ye hae nae pause.
And tak it that soon ye’ll be soaked tae the baws;
Then you better stert dookin’ or you’ll be back at yer maws;
Fir the times they are a chiyngin’.

Mon makars and mawkers that scrieve wi yer pen,
Keep your e’en oot, chance’ll no cam again.
An dinnae blurt oot fur the boattle’s in spin;
There’s nae spakin’ o’ wham it'll be namin.’
Fir yon dunderheid no lang efter'll win;
Fir the times they are a-chiyngin’.

Mon bigwigs and bawheeds mon heed the ca’,
Dinnae staun ben the loaby dinnae bloack up ha.’
Fir him that get’s a tankin’, Aye, it’s him get’s the baw;
There’s a rammie outside whit’s pure ragin’.
Thon’ll be brakin yer windaes and rattlin yer wa’s;
Fir the times they are chiyngin.

Mon Maws and Paws ower the laun’,
And dinnae gies ye’r pish on hings ye dinnae unerstaun’.
Your coaks and your quines are no followin’ yer bawn;
Yer auld loan’s giy rapidly agin’.
Get oot the wiy o’ the new wan if you’r no lennin a haun’;
Fir the times they are a chiyngin.

The wiy is laid oot the caintrip is cast,
The donderer noo’ll efter be fast.
And richt noo this meenut’ll auld lang syne be past;
The oarder lang ower’ll be fadin’.
And yon yin wan noo'll be oot ‘n’ oan his ass;
Fir the times they are chiyngin.
