Monifieth- Hurrah
For years we lived up in the toon
But no lang syne, to get mair room
We flitted and we settled doon
In Monifieth
To bide doon here is simply grand,
We’ve country air, the sea, the sand,
A nice wee hoose, wi’ a bit of land
In Monifieth
There’s some fowk here gey fu o’ pride,
Wha’ dearly love to pit on ‘side’
That dinna fash us tho’ we bide
In Monifieth
But ye daurna use the Dundee twang
Or there would be a michty sang
Ye maun speak ‘pink’ the hale day lang
In Monifieth
But losh! The fowks no a’ the same
There’s plenty of them I could name
Has made us feel we’re just at hame
In Monifieth
If for a hoose yer lookin’ roon
Jus tak oor plan and leave the toon
Pack a’ yer sticks and come straight doon
To Monifieth
written by T Y Miller in 1917
