Tune: Mrs McGrath Words: Anon.
In a country town, four men did meet,
To attempt an almost impossible feat,
A Scotchman, an Englishman, a man from Wales.
And a great big Paddy as hard as nails,
with a too ri ay, fol di riddle ay,
Too ri oo ri oo ri ay.
There lived a pig in this little town,
Whose stink was famous the whole world round,
And these four brave men had come to try,
To stay for an hour in that (sniff) pig sty!
with a too ...
The scotchman he was first to try,
he was four feet broad and three feet high.
But after five minutes we heard a yell:
" Get me oot o' here Ah cannae stand the smell!"
with a too ...
The Welshman and the Irishman both had a go,
But they only lasted ten minutes or so.
The Welshman's face was the colour of a leek,
While the Paddy said "Sure me knees are weak!"
with a too ...
Then the Englishman he was next to go in,
Saying "I am sure that I will win"
But after an hour no sound was heard,
And we thought that the Englishman was dead!
with a too ..
Then we heard a shout and a shape jumped out,
'Twas the dirty old pig holding tight its snout.
"For the love of Christ ", the pig did say,
"Will you take that Eglishman away?"
with a too ..
Where did this come from?
