I thought it very funny, thought you all might too :))

SCOTTISH CHRISTMAS FAIRY

I am a little fairy

On tap o' the Christmas Tree

It's no' a job I fancy

Well how would you like tae be me


A tarted up wi' tinsel

It's enough to mak ye boak

An a couple o' jaggy branches

Rammed up the back o' your frock

An' these wee lights a'roon me

I canny get my sleep

An' there's the yearly visit

Fae Santa - Big fat creep!


On Christmas Day I'm stuck up here

While you're a' wirin' in

An' naebody says 'Hey you up there

Could you go a slug o' gin?


It's nae joke bein' a fairy

The job's beyond belief

You've got to go roon' the wean's beds

An' lift their rotten teeth


But o' a' the joabs a fairy gets

An' I've mentioned only some

The very worst is sitting up a tree

Wi' pine needles up yir bum


When a' the fairies meet again

By the light of' the silvery moon

Ye can tell the Christmas fairies

They're the wans that canna sit doon


The Christmas tree's a bonny sight

As the firelight softly flickers

But think o' me I'm stuck up here

Wi' needles in my knickers


So soon as Christmas time's right by

An' I stop bein' sae full o' cheer

I'll get awa back tae Fairyland

An' I'll see yous a' next year.
 
Very quirky! Not sure if it would require a translation for those south of the border though!:(|):(|)

I have too much time on my hands so here is a translation

SCOTTISH CHRISTMAS FAIRY

I am a little fairy

On top of the Christmas Tree

It's no a job I fancy

Well how would you like to be me


All tarted up with tinsel

It's enough to make you sick

And a couple of jaggy branches

Rammed up the back of your skirt

And these small lights around me

I cannot get my sleep

And there's the yearly visit

From Santa - Big fat creep!


On Christmas Day I'm stuck up here

While you're all wirin' in (I'm scottish but this one has me stumped :)) wondered if its a Glaswegian term?)

And nobody says 'Hey you up there

Could you go a drink of gin?


It's no joke being a fairy

The job's beyond belief

You've got to go round the kids beds

And lift their rotten teeth


But of all the jobs a fairy gets

And I've mentioned only some

The very worst is sitting up a tree

With pine needles up your bum


When all the fairies meet again

By the light of the silvery moon

You can tell the Christmas fairies

They're the ones that cant sit down


The Christmas tree is a bonny sight

As the firelight softly flickers

But think of me I'm stuck up here

With needles in my knickers


So soon as Christmas time is right by

And I stop being so full of cheer

I'll get away back to Fairyland

And I'll see yous all next year.

Happy Christmas everyone :(|) x
 
While you're a' wirin' in
that is used for eating all the food or drinking all the booze

eg.. the kids were wirin' into all the sweets

we say it in Port Glasgow so must be a west coast saying..

I guessed it was something to do with getting stuck into the drink with the mention of gin in the next sentence, thanks for clarifying :)
 
It's quite a common saying here in Glasgow. It's pronounce 'wire in' and it's basically like saying 'get stuck in', to do something enthusiastically.

When your so used to a saying like that being used during normal conversation by everyone around you, you don't realise that people from other parts of the country don't have a clue what your talking about, until you notice their quizzical expressions. :))
