“Little Trotty Wagtail, he waddled in the mud,
And left his little footmarks, trample where he would.

And chirrupt up his wings to dry upon the garden rail.”

“Och, Dublin City, there is no doubtin,
Bates every city upon the say;
Tis there youll see OConnell spoutin,
An Lady Morgan makin tay;
For tis the capital of the finest nation,
Wid charmin pisintry on a fruitful sod,
Fightin like divils for conciliation
An hatin each other for the love of God.”

And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now Im engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
