    the party
    11
    "Friend" says Mickey Mooney aint that very true
    But you done your best and what more could you do
    When none of the neighbour would give a melodeon to you
    To play us a tune at the party
    12
    Red Jim Mullins and Din Gleeson jumped out form the wall
    And said sure we'll dance without music at all
    Sit down says Mickey Mooney for fear that you'd fall
    For your the too oldest at the party
    13
    They all shook hands
    And went their own way
    They swore in their hearts it would be a long day
    Till Martin again would lead them astray
    To attend such a laughable party.
