The Highlander's Knees

Song: The Highlander's Knees
Lyrics: Ai & Aaron J. Weaver
Music & Voice: Ai

[verse1]
Through mountain mists, the pipes begin to mourn.
The scarlet coat, and banner does adorn.
But not the wool, nor leather, nor the sword,
Could tell the tale of what their hearts adored.

For past the flash of bayonet and blade,
A different, rugged kind of pride was made.
Not lace nor cloth, nor bonnets to see,
But with the kilts their naked knees.

[verse2]
The great kilt’s pleats, caught the moving air,
The highlanders shine no matter where,
For every marching step and battle charge,
Their legend grew, their fame got large.

So let the poets sing of tartan bright,
With officers in all their tailored might.
Only one thing makes a highlander please,
His heavy kilt showing his naked knees.

[chorus]
We'll drink to the king with all our heart,
And wear with pride the regimental tart,
We'll claim the red coat for all to see,
And with our kilts we'll show our knees.
