I	A
	-
This is the sorrowful story	B
Told when the twilight fails	C
And the monkeys walk together	D
Holding their neighbours' tails	C
	-
Our fathers lived in the forest	E
Foolish people were they	F
They went down to the cornland	E
To teach the farmers to play	F
	-
Our fathers frisked in the millet	E
Our fathers skipped in the wheat	E
Our fathers hung from the branches	G
Our fathers danced in the street	E
	-
Then came the terrible farmers	H
Nothing of play they knew	I
Only they caught our fathers	H
And set them to labour too	I
	-
Set them to work in the cornland	I
With ploughs and sickles and flails	H
Put them in mud walled prisons	H
And cut off their beautiful tails	H
	-
Now we can watch our fathers	H
Sullen and bowed and old	I
Stooping over the millet	I
Sharing the silly mould	I
	-
Driving a foolish furrow	J
Mending a muddy yoke	K
Sleeping in mud walled prisons	H
Steeping their food in smoke	K
	-
We may not speak to our fathers	H
For if the farmers knew	I
They would come up to the forest	I
And set us to labour too	I
	-
This is the horrible story	B
Told as the twilight fails	H
And the monkeys walk together	D
Holding their kinsmen's tails	H

II	A
	-
'Twas when the rain fell steady an' the Ark was pitched an' ready	B
That Noah got his orders for to take the bastes below	J
He dragged them all together by the horn an' hide an' feather	D
An' all excipt the Donkey was agreeable to go	J
	-
Thin Noah spoke him fairly thin talked to him sevarely	J
An' thin he cursed him squarely to the glory av the Lord	I
Divil take the ass that bred you and the greater ass that fed you	I
Divil go wid you ye spalpeen an' the Donkey went aboard	I
	-
But the wind was always failin' an' 'twas most onaisy sailin'	I
An' the ladies in the cabin couldn't stand the stable air	L
An' the bastes betwuxt the hatches they tuk an' died in batches	H
Till Noah said There's wan av us that hasn't paid his fare	L
	-
For he heard a flusteration 'mid the bastes av all creation	I
The trumpetin' av elephints an' bellowin' av whales	H
An' he saw forninst the windy whin he wint to stop the shindy	I
The Divil wid a stable fork bedivillin' their tails	H
	-
The Divil cursed outrageous but Noah said umbrageous	H
To what am I indebted for this tenant right invasion	I
An' the Divil gave for answer Evict me if you can sir	D
For I came in wid the Donkey on Your Honour's invitation	I
