Notes

This is often sung to the tune of "A Love a Lassie."

This song is sung by kids and is not meant to have a double entendre.

Other Versions:

I love a sausage
A bonny, bonny sausage
And I put it in the oven for my tea,
And I went down the cellar
To get my umbrella
And the sausage ran after me,
Boom, Boom.

Ewan McVicar wrote, "Most usually in the literature it is [and I myself recall a version of this from childhood]:

I love a sausage, a Co-operative sausage
A hale big sausage tae masel
Ye fry it wi an ingan, [onion]
And hear the ingan singin
Mary ma Scots bluebell.

I have other verses about Co-operative products e.g.

aipple - ye cut it up in quarters an ye gie it tae the squatters*,

cookie - ye squeeze oot the cream and ye hear the cookie scream.

*At the end of WWII many homeless people occupied empty residential properties, or vacated armed forces barracks etc. This action is called squatting. House building programmes eventually reduced the problem. Squatters occupied the ex-RAF camp next to my school still in 1953."
