Lyr Req: Fleadh Ceolboys

Once heard a recording (bootleg) of Johnny Moynihan doing a great parody of "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys":

Mamas, don't let your babies turn into Fleadh Ceol-boys
Don't let 'em bash bodhrans or sleep in their suits
Leave 'em play boxes, concertinas or flutes
Mamas, don't let your babies turn into Fleadh Ceol-boys
For they're always unconscious or apt to throw punches
even at someone they lo-o-ove.

Anyone else ever heard this? And if so, have you the full lyrics?

The thread name grabbed me. sounds good. wouldn't mind hearing that myself. I sing a song called the Fleadh Cowboys, not a parody, but nonetheless quite funny. More about what the poor musician has to endure whilst perfoming.
I Won't HiJack the thread, but if you'd like these words, I'll post em for you. If I post them now, it might deviate from you're original inquiry, and lead u astray.
Good luck in the search!
