Subject: Lyr Add: MOLLY MALONE (parody)
Alice - here's a Molly parody I wrote a few years ago which usually gets a chuckle or two.

If Dublin you'll visit, down on Grafton Street,
You'll find there a statue of Molly Malone
With great bronze bouzoukis, all shiny and bright,
From the strikin' of tourists by day and by night.
etc.

Now it may be the porter that causes the strokin',
Or maybe they're hopin' 'twill bring them good luck,
Whatever the reason, when you stand in that place,
You'll swear that she's got a big grin on her face.
etc.

Now the Dubs are the fun ones, an irrev'rent lot,
They do show their love in peculiar ways.
They have taken dear molly clear into their hearts,
and that's why they call her "The Tart With The Cart"
etc.

Hope you enjoy it.
