... [recording lacks beginning of song]

Five men went to bed (Hey!)
Went to bed with Ashley
Five men, three men, two men, one man and his mobile phone
Went to bed with Ashley.

Six men went to bed
Went to bed with Ashley
Six men, five men, four men, three men, two men, one man and his mobile phone
Went to bed with Ashley.

Eight men went to bed (Hey!)
Went to bed with Ashley
Eight men, seven men, six men, five men, four men, three men, two men, one man and his mobile phone
Went to bed with Ashley.

Nine men went to bed
Went to bed with Ashley
Nine men, eight men, seven men, six men, five men, four men, three men, two men, one man and his mobile phone
Went to bed with Ashley.

Ten men went to bed
Went to bed with Ashley
Ten men, nine men, eight men, seven men, six men, five men, four men, three men, two men, one man and his mobile phone
Went to bed with Ashley.

Yah!

A different tune popped into my head when I started reading this thread, though the YouTube link from July 2021 completely knocked it out again. Too bad none of the early midis connect (and there is one tune link that wants to download - never gonna load those for practical reasons.)

Ten Men Couldna Carry Nade

...couldn't carry Nade
Six men, five men, four men, three men, two, one man and his forklift truck
Couldna carry Nade

Seven men couldn't carry Nade
Seven men, six men, five men, four men, three men, two men, one man and his folklift truck
Couldna carry Nade

Nine men couldn't carry Nade
Nine men, eight men, seven men, six men, five men, four men, three men, two men, one man and his folklift truck
Couldna carry Nade

Ten men couldn't carry Nade
Ten men, nine men, eight men, seven men, six men, five men, four men, three men, two men, one man and his folklift truck
Couldna carry Nade

Sung by fans of the Hibernian Football club. "Nade" I presume is Christian Nadé.
