Subject: Lyr Add: All of It
All of It

1)        Oh, dear what's the matter they're row'in and squabble'in
There seems to be something a rye
For the last forty nights, they've been having a fight
And we always can hear the same cry

Chorus: Give me all of it, all of it, not just a bit of it,
None of your quarters, your thirds, or your halves
For the long and the tall, and the rise and the fall of it
All of it, all of it, all.

2) The Priest at the alter was noticed to falter
And he seemed to be weak at the knees
When the Deacon poured drops of red wine from his cups
We could make out his virtuous pleas

3) The fiddler was play'in below in the kitchen
In the wee after hours that are best
When he left out a beat in the turn of the reel
And the dancers all stopped to request

4) The barman was spilling, and wiping and spilling
And the drinkers discussed this and that
When his thumb in the measure he aroused their displeasure
And he brought this response from one pat.

5) Now I've not the gumption nor hard neck to finish
This songs nothing less than obscene
But I trust your good taste, and I know you won't waste
Yours and mine precious time if you scream


Wouldn't let me copy the address......it's the html page of an Adobe Acrobat page.
