Snakes and Long Frocks

Snakes And Long Frocks Paddy's day in long frocks in pursuit of the snake for crisp plastic shamrock or far-eastern fake But great day for the Irish our rubbing of the green with drops of the hard stuff pints and poteen Great men altogether voices toward the tarry ceiling Oh Danny boy we all cried sung trice before leaving Now come back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff while *** smoke there drifts out of porch and dim snug Tunes writ for black porter sandwiches for the well ill we'll call a taxi for the Bull Malone as old men drink their fill
