The Dunmurry Incident

THE DUNMURRY INCIDENT There’s a big row going on in Dunmurry And the whole place has come to a stop There’s a war going on with the girl who makes cakes And the bird in the newspaper shop They both fancy Taxi man Terry Though Newspaper Nell saw him first Yet it seems he’s enticed, by Puff pastry Pat Now poor Nell is fearing the worst Pat has been seen tempting Terry With her big baps, and choice of cream cakes Poor Nell can’t offer those fanciful things But she’s willing to do what it takes Then Pat hit Nell with a doughnut So Nell thought she’d better give chase She walloped poor Pat, with an old Sunday Life Then rubbed newsprint all over her face Pat staggered back to the bakery And she brought out a large lemon pie It went over Nell’s head, and into her ears Some even went into her eye Nell made a soft muted whimper From the sting in her eye I suppose She reached in her pocket, and that’s when aul Pat Got a triple A, stuck up her nose Well the cops, they arrived in a hurry And they pulled the two ladies apart So peace was restored to the village And poor Terry, he had to depart
