Should I chew some bettlenut,
And never brought to mind?
Should I chew some bettlenut,
As the blue trucks pass by?
CHORUS:
As the blue trucks pass by, my dear,
As the blue trucks pass by,
We’ll take a cup of Tsingtao yet,
As the blue trucks pass by!
And surely thy trucks won’t stop,
And surely it is fine,
And we’ll take a cup o Tsingtao yet,
As the blue trucks pass by!
We twa hae scoot about the streets,
And taste the dumplings fine,
But too many a dog is it,
As the blue trucks pass by.
We twa hae taught the kids in turn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But e-ve-nings between us bored
As the blue trucks pass by.
And there’s a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie’s a hand o thine,
And we’ll take a right guid-willie waught,
As the blue trucks pass by
