🏴 [Intro - Great Highland Bagpipes] [Verse 1] Ninety grams of oats, ground rough and coarse, A pinch of salt, and water of course. Into the pot, let the cold water flow, Just barely covered, now ready to go. Turn on the fire, give it all you can, Wait for the bubbles, then change the plan. When it starts boiling, turn the heat down low, Now the real work starts, steady and slow. [Pre-Chorus] Take the wooden spoon, Hold it in your right hand. Keep it moving round and round, Just the way tradition demands! [Chorus] Stir it clockwise! Stir it clockwise! Keep that wooden spoon alive! Stir it clockwise! Don't turn back! Or you might invite the Devil to the pot! Stir it clockwise! [Verse 2] Keep it simmering, never let it rest, Stir that porridge, give it your best. A little more water, slowly pour it in, Watch the texture change, thick and smooth within. Fifteen minutes of the ancient way, No fancy tricks, no shortcuts today. Just oats and water, salt and fire, Simple food that takes you higher. [Pre-Chorus] The spoon goes round, The fire burns low. The porridge gets thicker, And stronger we grow! [Chorus] Stir it clockwise! Stir it clockwise! Keep that wooden spoon alive! Stir it clockwise! Don't turn back! Or you might invite the Devil to the pot! Stir it clockwise! [Bridge - Traditional Scottish Folk] In a great big pot, long ago, The porridge cooked for all to know. People came with wooden bowls, Shared the meal, then took their rolls. What was left would set up hard, Cut in blocks and packed for the road. The first old Scottish take-away, A meal for work, a meal for days. [Instrumental Break - Bagpipes Lead / Metal Guitars] [Verse 3] Now the pot is ready, the stirring is done, Fifteen hard minutes, but the battle is won. Serve it up hot, just the way you please, Simple Scottish power in a wooden bowl of peace. Some like sugar, some like cream, Some want something from a sweeter dream. But give me lemon curd, one spoon or two, Stir it in slowly, bright and yellow through. [Final Chorus - Full Scottish Metal] Stir it clockwise! Stir it clockwise! Now the bagpipes rise alive! Stir it clockwise! Feed the fire! Oats and water, heart and wire! Stir it clockwise! Stir it clockwise! Simple food, but mighty inside! Lemon curd! One spoon or two! Now I'm ready for the day to come through! [Outro - Bagpipes] Oats and water. Salt and fire. Fifteen minutes. Then we rise. Stir it clockwise... And face the day!
