He ought to blush for himself, the old hayheaded philosopher,
?FP=047.01"> 1
For to go and shove himself that way on top of her.
?FP=047.02"> 2
Begob, he's the crux of the catalogue
?FP=047.03"> 3
Of our antediluvial zoo,

    (Chorus) Messrs. Billing and Coo.

?FP=047.06"> 6
?FP=047.07"> 7
He was joulting by Wellinton's monument
?FP=047.08"> 8
Our rotorious hippopopotamuns
?FP=047.09"> 9
When some bugger let down the backtrap of the omnibus
?FP=047.10">10
And he caught his death of fusiliers,
?FP=047.11">11
    (Chorus) With his rent in his rears. 
?FP=047.12">12
           Give him six years.

?FP=047.14">14
'Tis sore pity for his innocent poor children
?FP=047.15">15

    (Chorus) Big earwigs on the green, 
?FP=047.19">19
           The largest ever you seen.

?FP=047.23">23

For to sod the brave son of Scandiknavery.
?FP=047.25">25
And we'll bury him down in Oxmanstown
?FP=047.26">26
Along with the devil and Danes,
?FP=047.27">27
    (Chorus) With the deaf and dumb Danes, 
?FP=047.28">28
           And all their remains. 
?FP=047.29">29
?FP=047.30">30
And not all the king's men nor his horses
?FP=047.31">31
Will resurrect his corpus
?FP=047.32">32
For there's no true spell in Connacht or hell
?FP=047.33">33
    (bis) That's able to raise a Cain.
