  1. I have a little Dairy Bull,
    Both frolicsome and frisky,
    He broke all fences with his skull
    And trespassed on Comiskey
    Then rambled round and saw strange cows,
    Which made him mighty jealous.
    So just to start some friendly rows
    He trespassed on Dick Ellis.
    While there he started swanking round
    To show he was a bad "un".
    He leaped the river in a bound
    Right into Tullybradden.
    His pedigree is very good,
    His dam is "Bradshaw's Fancy".
    His sire has Double Dairy blood
    Like his half-sister Nancy.
    He's registered and tattooed well,
    And licensed by the Dáil.
    But when he's taken out to sell
    He's not looked at, at all.
