    I hope you all thither will drive sir
    You'll be welcome both dead and alive sir
    To the christening in Ballyporeen
    VIV
    Now to Patrick the Bridegroom and Una the bride
    Let the harp of old Erin be pounded with pride
    And to all the brave guests, young old, gay or green
    Drunk or sober who jigged it in Ballyporeen.
    When Cupid will lend you his [?]
    To trip over the Conglical Ferry
    I wish you'd be half as merry
    As we were in Ballyporeen
