- Brian Boru who in the day
Of the Danish war
Took his sword sharp and pierce
Swore as far his eye could see
That he would have the victory.

- Holy Moses King of the Jews
Sold his wife for a pair of shoes
When the shoes began to wear
Moses began to swear. - Saturday night is my delight
And so is Sunday morning
But Sunday noon it comes to soon
And to hell with Monday morning
