Subject: Lyr Req: Looking for an Irish song with one lyric
Greetings everyone!

My mother has been thinking of a certain song that her Grandfather always played at the piano when she was younger. She doesn’t remember much because it has been a long time, it was back in the 70s, and she was young at the time.

She loved this line most especially, and it always stuck in her mind. She said she would laugh because he would always ‘give it laldy’ at this line, very happy and loud and enthusiastic. Mum asked for him to repeat this line, so because of this, she doesn’t remember any other parts of the song.

Now, the line itself is “The more you are, the more the ladies like you”. We have googled it many times and had no results. She has asked anyone that could know, her older sister, or other relatives from Ireland. Sadly with not much progress. There is really no one else to ask, as those who would have probably known have since passed ages ago. It seems like no one living now, knows this song whatsoever.

Hopefully someone here recognises this song. It would be tremendous!

All the best, and regards,
