Paddy’s Market Pots and pans and clothing, everything you seek Down in Paddy’s Market on Saturday each week. Dollies for your daughter, a train for your lad, Anything and everything you want is to be had. Chorus Down at Paddy’s Market, down upon the Quay All the folks come gathering the bargains for to see “Come and buy them hinny”, you will hear the sellers cry “Everyone’s a bargain come and buy come and buy. There’s a shawl for grandma, a pretty shade of red. When at night she’s tired, she can put it on in bed. A rolling pin for auntie to roll out all her dough, Or use it as a battering ram when uncle has a go. There’s some shoes for Molly with buckles on the toe. And there’s some boots for Billy that’ll set his heart a glow. There’s darning wool a plenty to keep things in repair. And there’s a coloured ribbon that’ll look lovely in your hair. A clay pipe for granddad, nice and clean and new If he doesn’t want to smoke it there’s baccy he can chew. We’ve bought a hat for mother compleate with silver pin At last we’ve found a swear box for to put dads money in.
