- Come on you Irish dancers, come bind and lend an ear
I hope you won't be terrified at the news your going to hear.
Concerning this entertainment held in Kilmurray school,
To learn Irish dancing two shillings was the rule.
II
To see those ladies waltzing it would fill you with delight.
And the when the strangers looked inside they got a shocking fright
To see this war bread flying and treacle tart go leor,
But they could not beat the seed cakes that came from Tullamore
