Last Friday night a friend and I
Went to the annual ball,
Of the famous Porthall footballers
In Kinnyvally hall.
(2)
Such a large array of dancers,
Never did I see.
Colleens fair from everywhere
And cave men from Clonleigh
(3) The men were dressed in evening dress
Black suits and shirts of white
Pointed toes and Shiney nose
They were a lovely sight.
(4)
The girls were dressed in dance frocks
That went down to their toes
They had lipstick on their lips
And powder on their nose
