Mcpherson Is Rehearsin' (To Swing) - Ella Fitzgerald, Chick Webb

Oh, McPherson is rehearsin'

And the bagpipes are reversin'

While McPherson is rehearsin' to swing

And from Edinburgh to Dundee

Every lad and every lassie

Knows McPherson is rehearsin' to swing

Oh, I dinna care, said Sandy

If the elders now approve

I’ve a chick where plans are dandy

And I’m in a mellow groove

Now the bonnie bonnie lassies

With the kilties on their chassis

Have forgotten all about the highland fling

Young and old folks get together

And there’s truckin' in the heather

When McPherson is rehearsin' to swing

Oh, I dinna care, said Sandy

If the elders now approve

I’ve a chick where plans are dandy

And I’m in a mellow groove

Now the bonnie bonnie lassies

With the kilties on their chassis

Have forgotten all about the highland fling

Young and old folks get together

And there’s truckin' in the heather

When McPherson is rehearsin' to swing
