    For I have a dog named Totter he is always at my heels
    He dances Polka's Hornpipes, Breakdowns and jig's and Reels
    And when I am surrounded by the Greasers pon my song
    He will take them by the breeches and they dont wait long.

    I go to every funeral the Caomers (Keeners) for to hear
    And when Ive had a glass or two you know Im on the beer
    Then when the Caomers tear their hair yell and shout and whine
    I break into this chorus boys and tis all damn fine
    IV
    I go to every wedding Im the Pride of every fair.
