   She is all in love with Jerry Gallavin,
   Whose face is like a plate.

   Next comes John Hanafin,
   That small and hardy man,

   Next comes John O' Rourke,
   Who travels round the world for fun,

   But instead he gets the nun.

   Now I meet Mick Hanifan,
   The daftest man of all,
   With his sinn féin collar,
   And shining tie,

   I thought he was Jack Latchford,
   That night at Stephen's porter ball.
