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 |
