A little bird with a little bill
hopped upon my window sill
I led him in with a piece of bread
Then I crushed his little head!

Late one night
when we were all in bed
Old Lady Leary
Left a Lantern in the shed
and when the cow kicked it over
it winked it's eye and said
"They'll be a hot time in the old town tonight."
"Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!"

(now say it backwards)
Night one late
in bed we were all in
Lady old Leary
Left the shed in the lantern
and when the kick cow'd it over
it's eye and winked and said
they'll be a time hot in the town old tonight
"Erif!" "Erif!" Erif!"
