Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Any more of this Irish parody?
There's always the tune "The Irish Washer Woman", with the mock-Irish lyrics:

Oh, McTavish is dead and his brother don't know it
His brother is dead and McTavish don't know it
They're both of them dead and they're in the same bed
And don't one of them know that the other is dead
McTavish he suffered from chronic arthritis
His brother he suffered from peritonitis
They both of them died and then oh how we cried
Cause not one of them knew that the other had died

CHEERS
Nigel
