All right, you asked for it.  Here's the full text of the Doric version.
The only bit you need to know is that 'Fa?' is Doric for 'Who?'...

Dough, a mix, for making bread,
Ray, that's me, my name is Ray,
Me, I'm Ray, I'm Ray that's me,
Fa? I'm Ray, that's fa,
So, I'm Ray, I'm Ray that's me,
La, la la, la la, la la...
Tea, a drink with jam and bread,
That would bring us back to, dough, dough, dough, dough...

Transcribed from the original, found on a toilet wall in Aberdeen.
