LAST ELECTION DAY Seán Mone
I’ll never forget the fun we had On last election day Sure, i thought that half the town was mad, On last election day I dressed myself in me Sunday clothes I looked such a toff from head to toe Then somebody upped and busted my nose On last election day
On last election day I sure did hip hooray I gave three cheers for the grand old man and three more for his Home Rule plan I was carried away on a liberal ban On last election day
I went into a pub to wet my throat On last election day Says a fella to me, where did ya vote? On last election day Says I, my names on a liberal list Says he, take THIS from a unionist he gave my head such a hella twist On last election day
On last election day He didn’t give me fair play He kicked me with his hog toe boots Ripped patterns off my Sunday suit He pulled my whiskers out by the roots On last election day
Well I climbed a wall that was nine-feet high On last election day To make a speech, I had to try On last election day Says I, fellow-countrymen never fear Our foes will fall and without…. oh dear But I slipped and fell down on the point of me ear On last election day
On last election day where on the ground I lay The crowd they thought it such a joke They laughed and shouted ‘good-old bloke’ They didn’t give a damn that me neck was broke On last election day
But when I came home with my clothes destroyed On last election day Well the wife she really got annoyed On last election day She says ‘You fool!, look what you’ve done’ ‘The state of your clothes and your money gone’ She thew at me the youngest son On last election day
On last election day She didn’t give me fair play She bipped and bopped me like a mule She hit me with her three-legged stool I’ll tell you she gave me Home Rule On last election day
