    Ok Scottish fans. I need a bit of 'expert' help please.
    Have come across a bit of music called 'Cock Up Your Beaver'.

    Now I can make my own programme notes about it, but I have a feeling they would not be allowed.

    All I have been told is that it is a tune that has been set to words attributed to Robbie Burns.

    Can anyone tell me what a 'clean' translation would be for this please?

    Is the song still sang?
    Where would it be sung?

    Thanks for any help

    I take it that it is never sung now then apart from at Glasgow parties as described by the great BC?

    I'm afraid it's lost on me ... haven't a clue what she's 'singing' about.
