    There are stories a float you cannot believe
    Simply got up just to decieve,
    But I'll tell you a story its perfectly true,
    About second hand trousers I bought in Belcoo.

    When the misses she saw them she flew in a rage,
    Saying they are no fit for a man of your age,
    You needent come here dressed like a cockoo,
    In your second hand trousers you bought in Belcoo.

    I wasn't long there till I fell fast asleep,
