   The "Mackler's" dog he killed a hare
   Twas then the sport began,
   They cost Ten Bob this is a rob
   These trials I now debar
   'Twill be no joke if the club goes broke
   With George's motor-car
   II
   Then up spoke Kruger Hogan:
   Says he "hold on awhile";
   Do'nt think we've come out to Dundrum
   To go home without a trial,
   In frost and snow we had to go
   And journey out so far
   Oh, before he's right, we're going to fight
   Says the boys in George's car.
   III
   Then up spoke noble Brophy,
   Now the Cup is in the bag
   Don't boast so soon, says Rockey's bitch
   And her tail began to wag.
   Whoever wins the Cup, my boys,
   Must surely buy a jar,
   And the D'Arcy Cup must be filled up
   For the boys in George's car.
