  1. There was a man in Dublin Dee
    That set a garden ful of seed
    When the seed began to grow
    It was like a garden full of snow
    When the snow began to melt
    It was like a ship without a belt
    And when the ship began to sail
    It was like a bird without a tail
    When the bird began to fly
    It was like an eclipse in the sky
    When the sky began to fall
    May the Lord have mercy on us all
