Uke-Song: "ROBBIE BURNS' DAY", as might be sung by Dean Martin

 

PARODY-SONG LYRICS: 

MUSICAL UNDERPINNINGS: "That's Amore", the Dean Martin 1953 classic.   

PARODY COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, December, 2018, updated from earlier blogposts, and with improved verse-charts. 

EXPLANATION: Robert Burns, born 1759, became Scotland’s "national poet", and a cultural icon at home and among Scottish diaspora around the world. In his short life - he died at age 37 -  he wrote hundreds of well-loved poems and songs; the most famous is Auld Lang Syne, traditionally sung on Hogmanay (New Year's Eve). Robbie Burns Day is celebrated on his birthday, January 25, often with a Burns Night supper. 

Burns' best-loved poems include "To a Mouse", "To a Louse", "Tam o' Shanter", "Parcel o' Rogues", and "Address to a Haggis".
