Sospan Vach (The Little Saucepan)


My sweet Mary Ann's hurt her finger,      My beese Mary Ann wed-dee bree'oo-oh,
And David the servant's feeling weak;     An Dahv-ith uh gwas thim un yach.
And the baby's crying now in its cradle,  My-ur bah-bahn un uh creed un cree-oh,
The cat's scratching Johnny on the cheek  Ahr gath wed-dee crahv-ee John-ny bach.
Sospan fach is boiling on the fire,       Sos-pan vach un bare-we ar uh tahn,
Sospan fawr boils over on the floor,      Sos-pan vow'r un bare-we a uh llauer,
The cat's scratching Johnny on the cheek. Ahr gath wed-dee crahv-ee John-ny bach.
  David's a soldier,                        Die bach uh soul-joor,
  David's a soldier,                        Die bach uh soul-joor,
  David's a soldier                         Dic bach uh soul-joor
  His shirttail's hanging out.              Ah choot-ee greese eh mahs.

My sweet Mary Ann's feeling better,        My beese Mary Ann wed-dee goo-eh-lluh,
And David the servant's in his grave;      An Dahv-ith uh gwas un i vaith.
And the baby's sleeping now in his cradle, My-ur bah-bahn un uh creed wed-dee teh-wee,
The cat has decided to behave.             Ahr gath wed-ee hee-no meh-oon haith.
Sospan fach is boiling on the fire,        Sos-pan vach un bare-we ar uh tahn,
Sospan fawr boils over on the floor,       Sos-pan vow'r un bare-we ar uh llauer,
The cat has decided to behave.             Ahr gath we-dee hee-no me-own haith.
  David's a soldier,                       Die bach uh soul-joor
  David's a soldier,                       Die bach uh soul-joor
  David's a soldier,                       Die bach uh soul-joor
  With his shirttail hanging out.          Ah choot-ee greese eh mahs.

This nonsense song is reportedly the most famous Rugby song in Wales.
