Work rating: Low


The Town Karnteel--! It`s who`ll reveal Its praises jushtifiable? For who can sing av anything So lovely and reliable? Whin Summer, Spring, or Winter lies From Malin`s Head to Tipperary, There`s no such town for interprise Bechuxt Youghal and Londonderry! There`s not its likes in Ireland-- For twic`t the week, be gorries! They`re playing jigs upon the band, And joomping there in sacks-- and-- and-- And racing, wid wheelborries! Kanteel-- it`s there, like any fair, The purty gurrls is plinty, sure--! And man-alive! At forty-five The leg`s av me air twinty, sure! I lave me cares, and hoein` too, Behint me, as is sinsible, And it`s Karnteel I`m goin` to, To cilebrate in principle! For there`s the town av all the land! And twic`t the week, be-gorries! They`re playing jigs upon the band, And joomping there in sacks-- and-- and-- And racing, wid wheelborries! And whilst I feel for owld Karnteel That I`ve no phrases glorious, It stands above the need av love That boasts in voice uproarious--! Lave that for Cork, and Dublin too, And Armagh and Killarney thin--, And Karnteel won`t be troublin` you Wid any jilous blarney, thin! For there`s the town av all the land Where twic`t the week, be-gorries! They`re playing jigs upon the band, And joomping there in sacks-- and-- and-- And racing, wid wheelborries!
