Thread Name: Lyr Req: Any more of this Irish parody?
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Any more of this Irish parody?
I am reminded of a mondegreen of mine from the Ould Orangle Flute:
Kick the Pope and Boil Water it freely would sound...
I thought Boil Water was an Orange song mocking the catlicks for having so many babies! I laughed a LOT when I read the real lyrics (Boyne Water) here on Mudcat back in the '90's...
The song I know that mocks Irish poverty is Weela Wallya.
