   Well our Creamery 'Tis erected
   By the side of Killvelure;
   The profit for the farmers
   And no good these for the poor
   The manager's name is Mr Hugh P ORyan
   And his under clark is most respectable Mr P OBrien
   There are two public houses
   In Drombane that is Ned's and Patsy's,
   I cannot say too much about them
   For to me they are good old friends.
   Patrick Ryan is the headline
   Under that is Bass and Wooden bottle
   And flour and meal there I declare
   And Miss Perkin for the corkscrew and the bottle
   Edmond Ryan is the second Headline
