I've heard the McMorrows do it, but we never get the time to sit at the fundraisers & swap lyrics...anyone else got em?

Not if you're willing to wait 9 years.

The McMorrows sing PADDY'S IN HELL on their album "Ireland on My Mind." Their web site has a sample. I couldn't decipher all of it:


PADDY'S IN HELL (excerpt)
The McMorrows

"Begod!" says the devil, "an' I'm writin' to complain.
Since this latest group of Irish came, Hell's never been the same.
It has me fairly puzzled and I don't know what I've missed.
But they're not supposed to be here, Lord. They weren't on my list.
And there's a ... cabbage on the boil
And heaps of ... potato peels ... around in piles
There's ... periwinkles all scattered on the floor.
There's lumps of hairy bacon and soda bread galore...
