He ought to blush for himself, the old hayheaded philosopher, | | 1 |
For to go and shove himself that way on top of her. | | 2 |
Begob, he's the crux of the catalogue | | 3 |
Of our antediluvial zoo, | | 4 |
(Chorus) Messrs. Billing and Coo. | | 5 |
Noah's larks, good as noo. | | 6 |
| | 7 |
He was joulting by Wellinton's monument | | 8 |
Our rotorious hippopopotamuns | | 9 |
When some bugger let down the backtrap of the omnibus | | 10 |
And he caught his death of fusiliers, | | 11 |
(Chorus) With his rent in his rears. | | 12 |
Give him six years. | | 13 |
| | 14 |
Tis sore pity for his innocent poor children | | 15 |
But look out for his missus legitimate! | | 16 |
When that frew gets a grip of old Earwicker | | 17 |
Won't there be earwigs on the green? | | 18 |
(Chorus) Big earwigs on the green, | | 19 |
The largest ever you seen. | | 20 |
| | 21 |
Suffoclose! Shikespower! Seudodanto! Anonymoses! | | 22 |
| | 23 |
Then we'll have a free trade Gaels' band and mass meeting | | 24 |
For to sod the brave son of Scandiknavery. | | 25 |
And we'll bury him down in Oxmanstown | | 26 |
Along with the devil and Danes, | | 27 |
(Chorus) With the deaf and dumb Danes, | | 28 |
And all their remains. | | 29 |
| | 30 |
And not all the king's men nor his horses | | 31 |
Will resurrect his corpus | | 32 |
For there's no true spell in Connacht or hell | | 33 |
(bis) That's able to raise a Cain. | | 34 |
