  2. A Song

    “There's a little dancing in your laughing Irish eyes, and the little devil's dancing right into my heart”

    There's a little dancing in your laughing Irish eyes,
    And the little devil's dancing right into my heart
    There's a little bit go mischief in your laughing Irish eyes,
    And its telling Mr Cupid to sharpen up his dart.
    I can swear on my honour
    I'm a lad who is a goner and to prove what eyes can do
    You can put it in the papers
    That the friend by sabers,
    Really wants to marry you.
