As the Loony Dook is now dropped from the official Edinburgh Hogmanay corporate greed fest, we celebrate the good old days.

 

Jump!

There’s an old tradition that goes back to the 80s
That we like to keep alive here in South Queensferry
It’s the most extreme hangover cure that you will see
All you do is get dressed up and jump into the sea

Do the loony dook, do the loony dook
Do the loony dook together
Do the loony dook, do the loony dook
No matter what the weather
Whatever

There’s nothing quite like salt water to build up a real thirst
So why not jump into the Forth on January 1st
But now Underbelly’s made it all about profit
You can only get yer belly wet if you have got 12 quid

Do the loony dook, do the loony dook
Do the loony dook together
Do the loony dook, don’t do it by the book
Just jump in wherever
Whatever

Don’t follow the cash cow
The corporate dollar cash cow
