    Expect 'tis toow et and then I can't go,
    I get up every morning at a quarter to eight.
    To get ready for school for fear I'd be late,
    For Killalaghton school is three miles away,
    And I have to walk that length every day,
    The teachers in this school are very good and kind
    They are the nicest teachers that anyone could find,When I go home in the evening I get my hurl and ball,
    I have a nice little gun hanging up on the wall,
    When I get big there will be less time for fun,
    And I can't be playing with my hurl and gun,
    Then when I am tired working I can look up at the wall
    And my gun will remind me of when I was small.
