Aikendrum

How did this . . .

Ken ye how a Whig can fight, Aikendrum, Aikendrum
Ken ye how a Whig can fight, Aikendrum
He can fight the hero bright, with his heels and armour tight
And the wind of heavenly night, Aikendrum, Aikendrum
Is not Rowley in the right, Aikendrum!

Did ye hear of Sunderland, Aikendrum, Aikendrum
Did ye hear of Sunderland, Aikendrum
That man of high command, who has sworn to clear the land
He has vanished from our strand, Aikendrum, Aikendrum,
Or the eel has ta'en the sand, Aikendrum.

Donald's running 'round and 'round, Aikendrum, Aikendrum,
Donald's running 'round and 'round, Aikendrum
But the Chief cannot be found, and the Dutchmen they are drowned
And King Jaime he is crowned, Aikendrum, Aikendrum
But the dogs will get a stound, Aikendrum.

We have heard of Whigs galore, Aikendrum, Aikendrum
We have heard of Whigs galore, Aikendrum
But we've sought the country o'er, with cannon and claymore,
And still they are before, Aikendrum, Aikendrum
We may seek forevermore, Aikendrum!

Ken ye how to gain a Whig, Aikendrum, Aikendrum
Ken ye how to gain a Whig, Aikendrum
Look Jolly, blythe and big, take his ain blest side and prig,
And the poor, worm-eaten Whig, Aikendrum, Aikendrum
For opposition's sake you will win!

turn into this?

There was a man lived in the moon,
In the moon, in the moon.
There was a man lived in the moon,
And his name was Aikendrum.

And he played upon a ladle,
A ladle, a ladle.
He played upon a ladle,
And his name was Aikendrum.

And his hair was made of spaghetti,
Spaghetti, spaghetti
His hair was made of spaghetti,
And his name was Aikendrum.

And he played upon a ladle,
A ladle, a ladle.
He played upon a ladle,
And his name was Aikendrum.

And his eyes were made of meatballs,
Meatballs, meatballs
His eyes were made of meat balls
And his name was Aikendrum.

And he played upon a ladle,
A ladle, a ladle.
He played upon a ladle,
And his name was Aikendrum.

And his nose was made of cheese,
Cheese, cheese
His nose was made of cheese,
And his name was Aikendrum.

And his mouth was made of pizza,
Pizza, pizza.
His mouth was made of pizza,
And his name was Aikendrum.

There was a man lived in the moon,
In the moon, in the moon.
There was a man lived in the moon,
And his name was Aikendrum.

Inwe and her class have been singing this. I did a Google search and came up with the Scottish song.
