Here we go:

Foot and Mouth Disease (J Burke, Donegal)

Though you may boast of foreign lands , there's trouble everywhere
When you hear the farmers talking at the markets and the fairs
For we must take this warning at home or overseas
If we want to keep our country free from foot and mouth disease

'Tis raging over in England - in most places can be found
And its bad news for our exiles - 'twill devaluate the pound
Should anyone return home, take all precautions please
To protect your native birthplace from the foot and mouth disease

Our statesmen are all working hard to give them all their dues
Don't enter fair or market till you disinfect your shoes
For if you do you'll break the law, no decent man you'll please
As we fight the epidemic of the foot and mouth disease.

They've had to ban all racing from our sportsmen one and all
And they could make no distinction right from Cork to Donegal
But we cannot grumble when we hear what Mister Wilson says
Of how many beasts they've slaughtered from the foot and mouth disease

Before I do lay down my pen, I'll say these few words more
May the lord protect our Irish soil and keep it from our shore
Our racehorses too will get a rest and our greyhounds we can't praise
Till we can keep old Ireland free from foot and mouth disease!

The suggested air was "The Bonny Boy".
