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.
