Subject: Lyr Req: Fleadh Ceolboys
Once heard a recording (bootleg) of Johnny Moynihan doing a great parody of "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys":

Mamas, don't let your babies turn into Fleadh Ceol-boys
Don't let 'em bash bodhrans or sleep in their suits
Leave 'em play boxes, concertinas or flutes
Mamas, don't let your babies turn into Fleadh Ceol-boys
For they're always unconscious or apt to throw punches
even at someone they lo-o-ove.

Anyone else ever heard this? And if so, have you the full lyrics?
