Limerick Style

(专辑： Heyday - 2019)

There was a pretty young lady, pretty lady named Bright
My God, she travelled so much faster, so much faster than light
And when she set out one day in a relative way
Was gone and came back and came back the previous night
There was spunky young man, a brave fellow from Lime
My God, he married three wives, oh three wives at a time
When ask why a third
He replied, "One's absurd
And bigamy sir, is a terrible crime"

Two wives at a time
What a terrible crime

Come with me (We'll follow you)
Down to Limerick town, going round and round
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Where you'll find a rhyme from another time
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Do the Limerick style from the Emerald Isle
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Five lines in your hand, send you round the bend

There was a fearless young lady, fearless lady from Riga
And she smiled as she rode, as she road on a tiger
They came back from the ride
With the lady inside
And a fairly broad smile on the face of the tiger
There was a clever young canner, exceedingly canny
And one morning he remarked, he remarked to his granny
A canner can can
Anything that he can
But a canner can't can a can, can he?

Exceedingly canny
He remarked to his granny

Come with me (We'll follow you)
Down to Limerick city where the words are gritty
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Where you'll find a rhyme from another time
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Do the Limerick style from the Emerald Isle
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Five lines in your hand, send you round the bend

What's a Limerick mother?
It's a form of verse, said brother
In which lines one and two
Rhyme with five when it's through
And three and four rhyme with each other

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Come with me (We'll follow you)
Down to Limerick town, going round and round
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Down to Limerick city where the words are gritty
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Do the Limerick style from the Emerald Isle
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Send you round the bend
