   “I'm a lover of the game-bock team, my voice once more I''ll raise.”

   I heard him say the other day, that whilst he could afford
   He would represent the Game Cock Team, in the Kerry Co. Board.

   Now that I'm drawing near a close, one other word to Mick
   To send his team out to the front, and get a better pick
   Pawn your shoes and Hurleys, and don't think it's a crime
   Your a man of twenty years ago, so stand behind the line.

   Now that I must terminate, I wish the Team Success
   And if you'll keep to practice, you'll get them all well dressed
   And now you fancy Senior Team, if you don't pull up your socks
   You won't be able to compete with those -
   Famous trained Game Cocks.
