Cockles and Mussels


In Dublin's fair city,

where the girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she wheel'd her wheel barrow

Thro' streets broad and narrow

Chorus

Crying "Cockles and Mussels alive, alive O!"

Alive, alive O! Alive, alive O

Crying Cockles and Mussels Alive, alive O!


She was a fishmonger,

But sure 'twas no wonder,

For so were her father and mother before,

And they each wheel'd their barrow

Thro' streets broad and narrow,

Chorus
She died of a fever

And no one could save her,

And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone;

But her ghost wheels her barrow

Thro' streets broad and narrow

Chorus

The court of King Caractacus

Now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus, were just passing by.


All together, now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus, were just passing by.
Now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus, were just passing by.
Now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus, were just passing by.

Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus, were just passing by.


All together, now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus, were just passing by.
Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus, were just passing by.
Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.

Now the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus, were just passing by.


Repeat 4 times

Now the fascinating witches who put the scintillating stitches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus, were just passing by.


Repeat 4 times

Now if you want to take some pictures of the fascinating witches who put the scintillating stitches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus...

...you're too late! Because they've just... passed... by!

Dance to your daddy

Dance to your Daddy, my little laddy


Dance to your Daddy, my little man
Thou shalt have a fish and thou shalt have a fin
Thou shalt have a codlin when the boat comes in
Thou shalt have haddock baked in a pan
Dance to your Daddy, my little man

Dance to your Daddy, my little laddie


Dance to your Daddy, my little man
When thou art a young boy, you must sing and play
Go along the shore and cast your shells away
Build yourself a castle, watch the tide roll in
Dance to your Daddy, my little man.

Dance to your Daddy, my little laddie


Dance to your Daddy, my little man
When thou art a young man, go unto the trades
Find yourself a skill, and wages you’ll be paid
Then with all your wages, buy yourself some land
Dance to your Daddy, my little man

Dance to your Daddy, my little laddie


Dance to your Daddy, my little man
When thou art a man and go to take a wife
Find yourself a lass and love her all your life
She shall be your wife and thou shalt be her man
Dance to your Daddy, my little man

Dance to your Daddy, my little laddie


Dance to your Daddy, my little man
When thou art an old man, father to a son
Sing to him the old songs, sing of all you've done
Pass along the old ways, then let his song begin
Dance to your Daddy, my little man
Dives and Lazarus

Now there was a rich man and he lived in Jerusalem

Swigameligalorium Rye row rum
Chorus

Rye row rum, rye row rum

Chorus
Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Do your ears hang low, do they waggle to and fro?


Can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them is a bow?
Can you toss them over your shoulder like a regimental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

Do your ears stick out, can you waggle them about?


Can you flap them up and down as you fly around the town?
Can you shut them up for sure when you hear an awful bore?
Do your ears stick out?

Do your ears stand high, do they reach up to the sky?


Do they hang down when they're wet, do they stand up when they're dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbour with the minimum of labour?
Do your ears stand high?

Donkey riding

Were you ever in Quebec

Stowin' timber on the deck?

Where there's a king with a golden crown

(where ye'd break yer bleedin' neck)

Riding on a donkey!


Chorus

Way O and away we go

Donkey riding, donkey riding

Way O and away we go

Riding on a donkey.
Chorus

Were you ever off the Horn

Where it's always fine and warm?

Where's there's a lion and a unicorn

Riding on a donkey.
Chorus

Were you ever in Cardiff Bay

Where the folks all shout, "Hooray!"?

"Here comes Johnny with his six months pay

Riding on a donkey."

Chorus

Note: Reportedly, "Donkey" refers to a donkey engine, used for

loading and unloading cargo. A variation on Hieland Laddie, which

often has interchangeable verses.

Patent blocks o' diff'rent sizes,

Keep him there and make 'im bale 'er.


Pull out the plug and wet him all over,



Early in the morning

Turn the little handle
Puff, puff, toot, toot 
Off we go!

See the little pufferbellies
All in a row

Puff, puff, toot, toot

Fox

The Fox went out on a chilly night


He prayed for the moon to give him light
For he had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o

He ran till he came to the farmers pen


The ducks and the geese were kept therein
He said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o
A couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o

He grabbed the great goose by the neck


He threw a duck across his back
And he didn't mind the quack, quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o, down-o, down-o
He didn't mind the quack, quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o

Well the old grey Woman jumped out of bed


Out of the window she popped her head
Cryin' John, John the great goose is gone
The Fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
John, John the great goose is gone
And the Fox is on the town-o

He ran till he came to his nice warm den


And there were the little ones 8, 9, 10
Sayin' Daddy, Daddy better go back again
It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
Daddy, Daddy go back again
For it must be a mighty fine town-o
The Fox and his Wife, without any strife
They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
And they never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o
They never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones

One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so.

I'll sing you two Ho.

Gypsy rover

A gypsy rover came over the hill


Down through the valley so shady.
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady.

Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day


Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady.

She left her father's castle gate.


She left her own fine lover.
She left her servants and her state
To follow her gypsy rover.

She left behind her velvet gown


And shoes of Spanish leather
They whistled and they sang 'till the green woods rang
As they rode off together

Last night, she slept on a goose feather bed


With silken sheets for cover
Tonight she'll sleep on the cold, cold ground
Beside her gyspy lover

Her father saddled up his fastest stead


And roamed the valley all over.
Sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistlin' gypsy rover.

He came at last to a mansion fine


Down by the river Claydee.
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady.

"Have you forsaken your house and home?


Have you forsaken your baby?
Have you forsaken your husband dear
For a whistling gypsy rover?"

"He is no gypsy, my Father," she cried


"but Lord of these lands all over.
And I shall stay 'til my dying day
with my whistlin' gypsy rover."

Hush Little Baby

Hush little baby don’t say a word

Mama’s gonna buy you a mocking bird

And if that mocking bird won’t sing

Mamma’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond turns to brass

Mamma’s gonna buy you a looking glass

If that looking glass gets broke

Mama’s gonna buy you a billy goat


If that billy goat won’t pull

Mama’s gonna buy you a cart and bull

If that cart and bull turn over

Mama’s gonna buy you a dog called rover


If that dog called rover don’t bark

Mama’s gonna buy you a horse and cart

If that horse and cart fall down

You’re still the sweetest little girl in town



I like the flowers

I like the flowers, I like the daffodils

I like the mountains, I like the rolling hills.

I like the fireside when all the lights are low.

I Went Bathing

I went bathing in the deep blue sea

I was happy as happy can be

How it happened, goodness only knows?

Some rude person went and stole my clothes.

I had nothing there to cover me

Every person in the world could see

10 little fingers, 10 little toes

2 little eyes and one little nose

The cinematograph would have had some fun

If I hadn’t had a copy of the evening times!

If you dance then you must have

If you dance then you must have boots of shining leather

Money in your pocket book

In your cap a feather

But if you would sing with me, you don’t need a cent you’ll see

So come and sing together

If you dance then you must have boots of shining leather
If you’d wed a pretty girl that will cost you money

She will want a hundred things, rainy days or sunny

But if you would sing with me, you don’t need a cent you’ll see

So come and sing together

If you wed a pretty girl that will cost you money
If you’d wed a handsome lad

Hasten do not tarry

You can steal his heart away

And you one day he’ll marry



If you're happy

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands [clap-clap]


If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands [clap-clap]
If you're happy and you know it, then you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands [clap-clap]

2. ...stamp your feet

3. ... snap your fingers

4. ... slap your thighs

5. ... say "we are"!

6. ... do all five! [perform all five actions]
