Have you heard of one Humpty
How he fell with a roll and a
And curled up like Lord Olofa
By the butt of the Magazine Wall, (Chorus) Of the Magazine Wall, Hump, helmet and all?
He was one time our King of the
Now he's kicked about like a rotten old parsnip.
And from Green street he'll be sent by order of His
To the penal jail of Mountjoy (Chorus) To the jail of Mountjoy! Jail him and joy.
He was fafafather of all schemes for to bother
Slow coaches and immaculate contraceptives for the populace,
Mare's milk for the sick, seven dry Sundays a week,
Openair love and religion's reform, (Chorus) And religious reform, Hideous in form.
Arrah, why, says you, couldn't he manage it?
I'll go bail, my fine dairyman darling,
Like the bumping bull of the
All your butter is in your horns. (Chorus) His butter is in his horns. Butter his horns!(Repeat) Hurrah there,
Hosty, frosty Hosty, change that shirt on ye,
Rhyme the rann, the king of all ranns!
Balbaccio, balbuccio!
We had chaw chaw chops, chairs, chewing gum, the chicken-pox and china
Universally provided by this soffsoaping salesman.
Small wonder He'll Cheat E'erawan our local lads nicknamed him.
When Chimpden first took the floor (Chorus) With his bucketshop store Down Bargainweg,
Lower.
So snug he was in his hotel premises
But soon we'll bonfire all his trash, tricks and
And 'tis short till sheriff Clancy'll be winding up his unlimited
With the bailiff's bom at the door, (Chorus) Bimbam at the door. Then he'll bum no more.
Sweet bad luck on the waves washed to our
The hooker of that hammerfast
And Gall's curse on the day when Eblana
Saw his black and tan man-o'-war. (Chorus) Saw his man-o'-war On the harbour bar.
Where from? roars Poolbeg.
Cookingha'pence, he bawls Donnez-moi scampitle, wick an

Og as ay are at gammelhore Norveegickers cod. (Chorus) A Norwegian camel old cod. He is, begod.
Lift it,
Hosty, lift it, ye devil, ye! up with the rann, the rhyming rann!
It was during some fresh water garden
Or, according to the Nursing Mirror, while admiring the
That our heavyweight heathen
Made bold a maid to woo (Chorus) Woohoo, what'll she doo! The general lost her maidenloo!
He ought to blush for himself, the old hayheaded philosopher,
For to go and shove himself that way on top of her.
Begob, he's the crux of the
Of our antediluvial zoo, (Chorus) Messrs Billing and Coo. Noah's larks, good as noo.
He was joulting by Wellinton's
Our rotorious
When some bugger let down the backtrap of the
And he caught his death of fusiliers, (Chorus) With his rent in his rears. Give him six years.'Tis sore pity for his innocent poor
But look out for his missus legitimate!
When that frew gets a grip of old
Won't there be earwigs on the green? (Chorus) Big earwigs on the green, The largest ever you seen. Suffoclose!

Anonymoses!
Then we'll have a free trade Gael's band and mass
For to sod him the brave son of Scandiknavery.
And we'll bury him down in
Along with the devil and the Danes, (Chorus) With the deaf and dumb Danes, And all their remains.
And not all the king's men nor his

For there's no true spell in Connacht or hell (bis) That's able to raise a Cain.
