    “Uncle Pat ran up the Wall”

    Share Share Post
    Uncle Rat ran up a wall,
    Hi, de, ity, Andy,
    Uncle Rat ran up the wall
    Shouting as loud as he could ball
    Saying "I'll never come back at all
    Hi, de, ity, Andy.
    O, Flo, why do you go,
    Riding along on your motor car
    There's room for two, just you and me.
    In your elegant motor car

    heard on our cross road
