    Good morning John your hens are gone
    Your cocks won't crow no more
    You went to bed you sleep head
    And forgot to lock the door.
    Paddy Myles, an Irish boy,
    Who came across the sea
    For singing for dancing,
    I hope I will please ye,
    He can sing and dance with any man
    As he did in days of yore
    And I liked to wear the hat my father wore
    It was worn over twenty year's
    And trimmed all round with green.
    Marteen, marteen chuc, chuc,
    Went to bed with five young ducks
    One of them died Marteen cried
    Marteen, Marteen chuc, chuc
    Mr Brown went down the town
    Ariding on a pony
    He put a feather on his hat, and called it Macaronie
