Does anyone have the rest, and some details? Very fond of fireworks was Gerry McIntyre He bought a pound of bangers, and chucked them on the fire Blew all his Fathers whiskers off and all his mothers hair In fact the weren't a single sign of Whiskers anywhere His Father went and got a job to suit him to a T, Found him a position, working in a factory, All the work he had to do was making shot and shell from dynamite and other stuff for blowing folks to hell. But they soon made an Angel of him there! They soon made an Angel of him there! He was looking down a gun, When they fired it just for fun, And the soon made an Angel of him there! Does this jog any memories? |

The link is out of date but the rest will follow now thanks to you. If I go to publication I'll put an acknowledgment in for you. At the moment I'm tied up with another songbook which you'll find as another thread now. Thanks again Nick |
