O will ye choose to hear the newsA
Bedad I cannot pass it o'erB
I'll tell you all about the BallC
To the Naypaulase AmbassadorB
Begor this fete all balls does bateD
At which I've worn a pump and IE
Must here relate the splendthor greatD
Of th' Oriental CompanyF
-
These men of sinse dispoised expinseA
To fete these black AchillesesA
'We'll show the blacks ' says they 'Almack'sA
And take the rooms at Willis's '-
With flags and shawls for these NepaulsA
They hung the rooms of Willis upG
And decked the walls and stairs and hallsA
With roses and with lilies upG
-
And Jullien's band it tuck its standH
So sweetly in the middle thereI
And soft bassoons played heavenly chunesA
And violins did fiddle thereI
And when the Coort was tired of spoortH
I'd lave you boys to think there wasA
A nate buffet before them setH
Where lashins of good dhrink there wasA
-
At ten before the ball room doorJ
His moighty Excellincy wasA
He smoiled and bowed to all the crowdH
So gorgeous and immense he wasA
His dusky shuit sublime and muteH
Into the door way followed himK
And O the noise of the blackguard boysA
As they hurrood and hollowed himK
-
The noble Chair stud at the stairI
And bade the dthrums to thump and heF
Did thus evince to that Black PrinceA
The welcome of his CompanyF
O fair the girls and rich the curlsA
And bright the oys you saw there wasA
And fixed each oye ye there could spoiG
On Gineral Jung Bahawther wasA
-
This Gineral great then tuck his sateH
With all the other gineralsA
Bedad his troat his belt his coatH
All bleezed with precious mineralsA
And as he there with princely airI
Recloinin on his cushion wasA
All round about his royal chairI
The squeezin and the pushin wasA
-
O Pat such girls such Jukes and EarlsA
Such fashion and nobiliteeH
Just think of Tim and fancy himK
Amidst the hoigh gentiliteeH
There was Lord De L'Huys and the PortygeeseA
Ministher and his lady thereI
And I reckonized with much surpriseA
Our messmate Bob O'Grady thereI
-
There was Baroness Brunow that looked like JunoL
And Baroness Rehausen thereI
And Countess Roullier that looked peculiarB
Well in her robes of gauze in thereI
There was Lord Crowhurst I knew him firstH
When only Mr Pips he wasA
And Mick O'Toole the great big foolM
That after supper tipsy wasA
-
There was Lord Fingall and his ladies allC
And Lords Killeen and DufferinL
And Paddy Fife with his fat wifeN
I wondther how he could stuff her inL
There was Lord Belfast that by me pastH
And seemed to ask how should I go thereI
And the Widow Macrae and Lord A HayO
And the Marchioness of Sligo thereI
-
Yes Jukes and Earls and diamonds and pearlsA
And pretty girls was sporting thereI
And some beside the rogues I spiedH
Behind the windies coorting thereI
O there's one I know bedad would showL
As beautiful as any thereI
And I'd like to hear the pipers blowL
And shake a fut with Fanny thereI
