On the black velvet water,

Showed icy eyes at the county fair

I heard loud snapping a lot...

All because of a devious lie
When I bend for the soap
It’s the only one not on a rope
The one eyed pirate gets a poke in the eye

I just couldn't wait for the county fair
All of my family and friends were there
I stumbled and ripped my pants
Nothing but whistles and chants
I forgot to wear any underwear

A soft rain is about to fall
when he calls me John

Premium Member Caught Red-Handed

A questionable young lad from the county
Went searching for a well-known burglar’s bounty
Found an empty croaker sack
With a handy auto jack
Ere he was suddenly stopped by a Mountie.

On St. Patrick's Day, old boozehound Barney
Howls grand Gaelic airs at a pub in Killarney
Place a strong stout at his paw
And he'll howl Erin go braugh!
Yes, County Kerry folk are given to blarney!
