I think I got a few extra verses:

Come in, come in, it's nice tae see ye
How's yersel, yer lookin grand
Hae a seat an hae a drammie
Man yer walcome, here's my hand

At which point my mind either goes black or strays to the subject of
lunch.  :D

Re: Derek's posting, I feel it is only right that in the interests of
truth,
justice and the Scottish way I point out that the lyrics go:

Come in, come in it's nice tae see ye,
How's yersel, ye're lookin grand.

After that my memory, like Derek's, fails me.  I'm not even sure of
the tune
after that. It always seems to merge into the classic valedictory song
from
the same  programme:

Haste ye back, ye're always welcome
er, tum, ti, tum, ti tum

As someone once said, sentiment works as long as you mean it.  There
was
always something good-hearted and sociable about the spirit of those
programmes, a spirit which defies the ironic tenor of much our current
cultural experience.
