Paddy West School of Shantying?
Not bloody likely, mate!
I aint a-gonna stand on no bloody stage, singin' me guts out, while some higgorant bleeder slings a bucket o' water at me & shoutin' out
"She's takin' on the spray".
No, not me. Not likely.
On the other hand, I aint a-gonna posh-up no shanties just for the likes of some folk club. Just imagine:-
As I was perambulating along Paradise Street.
To me, oh, gosh, blow the man down.
An overweight Irish person who had joined the constabulary I perchanced for to meet.
In a little while I shall attempt to blow the man down.........
