1. Election Song

   “Come all you Irish Rate-payers I mean to let you hear,”

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   I
   Come all you Irish Rate-payers I mean to let you hear,
   Prepare for an Election I'm told it is quite near,
   Now be alert and leave the hearth, take off your overcoats,
   Don't listen to those fairy tales but for freedom cast your votes.
   II
   Those men you have elected are very good at speech
   But when they go to Parliament they don't practise what they preach
   They brush back their hair I do declare, sit cosy on their stools
   Saying "We can ease our troubles now, for we have doped the fools".
   III
   There's one thing they pout about, which is the farmer's 'loan
   Now you must remember that this is not their own
   They have to pay big interest the principle behind
   They say this goes to Capital to feed the orphan child.
   IV
   There are lots of gentry with watches on the sleeve
   Riding Raleigh bykes and going for relief
   If you met them on a Sunday they would knock you going to Mass
   While the poor starving farmers must walk along the grass.
