Should I tell me Ma (The Piercing Song)
by Tim O'Riordan (may be slightly different from Tim's original)

Should I tell me Ma when I go home
that I got pierced right to the bone,
four rings in me ears, two studs in me nose,
two yokes hanging down from my eyebrows,
I'll tell ye lads it's fairly tricky,
a two inch rod shoved through your .............
Ould Johnny Mooney says he'd die
if he had to wear the yoke over my right eye.

Jacinta Murphy and Tanya Sutton
have two big stones in their belly button
So I went and I got me one of them
'twas there I got the infection.
I'll tell ye lads I'm on the level
all the puss that oozed out of me navel,
but it didn't stop me, I went again,
I got a big hole drilled through me chin.

Chorus: Should I tell me Ma etc.

I didn't want to get the ball on me tongue,
'twas the girlfriend made me get that done,
it spiced up our relationship,
'till it got tangled up with the ring on her lip.
I'll tell ye lads it caused quite a ripple,
the three foot chain hanging off of my nipple,
connected to a steel bull-ring
through the bridge of my nose, let me hear ye sing.

Chorus

Now tell me lads, what should I do,
I should have got a big tattoo
Should I tell me Ma, text her on the phone,
that I should have left meself alone.
Should I show me face, should I plead me case,
should I tell her the state of me navel base,
not to mention the rod in the rud* below,
I've more holes in me now than a piccollo.

rud*; Irish for 'thing'
