Have you heard of one Humpty Dumpty | 1 |
How he fell with a roll and a rumble | 2 |
And curled up like Lord Olofa Crumple | 3 |
By the butt of the Magazine Wall, | 4 |
(Chorus) Of the Magazine Wall, | 5 |
Hump, helmet and all? | 6 |
He was one time our King of the Castle | 7 |
Now he's kicked about like a rotten old parsnip. | 8 |
And from Green street he'll be sent by order of His Worship | 9 |
To the penal jail of Mountjoy | 10 |
11 | |
(Chorus) To the jail of Mountjoy! | 12 |
Jail him and joy. | 13 |
14 | |
He was fafafather of all schemes for to bother us | 15 |
Slow coaches and immaculate contraceptives for the populace, | 16 |
Mare's milk for the sick, seven dry Sundays a week, | 17 |
Openair love and religion's reform, | 18 |
(Chorus) And religious reform, | 19 |
Hideous in form. | 20 |
21 | |
Arrah, why, says you, couldn't he manage it? | 22 |
I'll go bail, my fine dairyman darling, | 23 |
Like the bumping bull of the Cassidys | 24 |
All your butter is in your horns. | 25 |
(Chorus) His butter is in his horns. | 26 |
Butter his horns! | 27 |
28 | |
(Repeat) Hurrah there, Hosty, frosty Hosty, change that shirt | 29 |
[on ye, | 30 |
Rhyme the rann, the king of all ranns! | 31 |
Balbaccio, balbuccio! | 32 |
We had chaw chaw chops, chairs, chewing gum, the chicken- | 33 |
[pox and china chambers | 34 |
