A Local Song (continued)
“O' come all you jolly people and listen to my song, ¶ I'll sing for you a verse of two”
(continued from previous page)The Meara Brothers next we meet, as farther down we go.
Patrick and Martin and the stalwart Michael Joe.
No doubt they're a credit to the class they're so hefty and so brave.
And they can fit you out in anything from the cradle to the grave.

Now down School Street we go to meet the Brereton Brothers two,
Jack and George whose Cinema hall is now occupied by you.
Their home is so bright with electric light
its like a fairy dream.
And if ever you chance to stroll down there you'll think its the Shannon Scene.
