Steve Lyr Req: French at Killyloo (19) Lyr Add: KILLALOO (alternate verse) 10 Dec 98


I have an alternative final verse if you're interested.

Jeez boys we had some fun,
You should've seen him when it was done,
His eyeballs one by one did disappear.
And a doctor from the south,
Took an hour to find his mouth,
Which had somehow got concealed behind his ear,
And he swore a terrible oath,
he'd take the law and get us both,
And then he'd leave both Limerick and Clare,
'Cos he found it wouldn't do to teach French at Killaloe,
Unless you've got a face or two to spare.

The chorus/refrain:

You may talk about Descartes, you may talk of Boneparte,
Or any other party, comment que voulez-vous
Sure we learnt to sing it easy,
that song the Marseillesie,
Boulogne, Toulon, le Continent,
we learnt at Killaloe.

Don't know whether this is any good for you, I sing the first two verses identically to the version from Bob Bolton.

Good song.

Steve.
