and here are the guitar chords..... (possibly a bit more complicated than necessary.. but that's what's in the book)

Have you (C)heard of Phil the Fluther, of the (F)town of Bally(Em)muck?
The (C)times were going (Em)hard with him, in (C)fact the man was (G)broke.
So he (C)just sent out a notice to his (F)neighbours, one an (Em)all
As to (C)how he'd like their company that (F)evening (G)at a (C)ball.
And when writin' (G)out he was (Am)careful to (Em)suggest to them,
That (C)if they found a (G)hat of his con(D)venient to the (G)dure, (door)
The (C)more they put (G)in, when(Am)ever he re(Em)quested them
The better would the (C)music be for (Em)battherin' the (G)flure.(floor)

With the (C)toot of the flute, And the (F)twiddle of the (C)fiddle, O;
Hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the (G)griddle, O.
(C)Up! down, hands aroun', (F)crossin' to the (C)wall
Oh!, hadn't we the gaiety at (F)Phil the (G)fluther's (C)ball.
