We're The Twins from Aunt Marinn's, / Igo and Ago.
When Dad comes, the show begins! -- / Iram, coram, dago.
Dad he says he named us two / Igo and Ago / For a poem he always knew, / Iram, coram, dago.
_Then_ he was a braw Scotchman -- / Igo and Ago. -- / _Now_ he's Scotch-Amer-i-can.
Iram, coram, dago.
"Hey! " he cries, and pats his knee, / "Igo and Ago, / My twin bairnies, ride wi' me -- / Iram, coram, dago!"
"Here," he laughs, "ye've each a leg, / Igo and Ago, / Gleg as Tam O'Shanter's 'Meg'!
Iram, coram, dago!"
Then we mount, with shrieks of mirth -- / Igo and Ago, -- / The two gladdest twins on earth!
Iram, coram, dago.
Wade and Silas-Walker cry, -- / "Igo and Ago -- / Annie's kissin' 'em 'good-bye'! " -- / Iram, coram, dago.
Aunty waves us fond farewells. -- / "Igo and Ago,"
Granny pipes, "tak care yersels!"
Iram, coram, dago.
