Here's a fair copy:

AON FOCAL EILE

When I was just a little lad, I used to go to school.
I'd sit down there in the seat feelin' like a fool.
The teacher taught us everything, everything we know.
She had a great big lump of a stick that was bent into a bow.

She'd go "aon focal, dha focal, tri focal eile"
And I not knowin' no focal at all.
She'd go "aon focal, dha focal, tri focal eile"
And I not knowin' no focal at all.

She taught us how to say all our ABC,
And how to make little men out of plasticine.
She taught us how to say our prayers. She taught us right from wrong.
The only thing about it, we didn't go to school too long.

And I not knowin' no focal at all

She taught us all our history, the battle of the Boyne,
And how to play a game with chestnut and a twine.
She said, "open up your catechisms. learn off the information.
If you don't get it into your beefy heads, you won't get your confirmation."

She'd go "aon focal, dha focal, tri focal eile"
And I not knowin' no focal at all.
She'd go "aon focal, dha focal, tri focal eile"
And I not knowin' no focal at all.

"Feceim 'e, feceim tu,"
That's the truth, says I to you.

She'd go "aon focal, dha focal, tri focal eile"
And I not knowin' no focal at all,
And we not knowin' no focal at all.
