Well, looking farther on the video, I found that Michael posted the lyrics.

Here are the words: Taypot Jack

TAYPOT JACK

At Halloween in the dark of night
With our vizzards on, we looked some sight
All dressed up in auld hags clothes
Covered up from our heads to our toes

CHORUS
‘With a hugadda hugadda Taypot Jack
Tonight you’d better watch your back’
‘With a hugadda hugadda’ me mother said
‘Tonight’s for the living and the dead’

We traipsed the fields and walked the roads
All dressed up with our heavy loads
We met the Púca and the Bow
The divil knows what, black dogs and sows

“Well who are you?” they would say
“We’ve come from far far far away.
Sure you wouldn’t know me at all, at all,
In my father’s boots and my mother’s shawl”.

“Be careful now on the auld back road
As the Bawman there he is known to stroll,
Any child found in his way,
He’ll steal them off and their souls away”

We met Willie the Wisp and Jack the Lad,
The Poochy Pawman he’s half mad,
We played cards with the divil and songs we sang,
And shared our sweets and colcannon.

Homeward bound before midnight,
Walking the road in the full moon light,
We bid good night to the poor auld souls,
And come next year, we’ll meet you all.
