- I have but one horn, I'm no unicorn,
I milk, though I'm no Kerry cow,
My grandmamma loves me,
Around the board she shoves me,
With a smile of good luck on her brow (Tea pot)As I looked out my window I saw a wonderful thing,
I saw John Hogarty Fogarty taking concainently,
And if I had my gun I wouldn't let John Hogarty Fogarty take convainently,
I went out to the neighbour's house to get the loan of a wind blow to shoot ferly fongs.
