    Paddy from Clare.

    The latest of fashions our cailíns display
    They're jazzing all night and sleeping all day.
    For all the young ladies are bobbing their hair
    'Twould make lining for straddles said Paddy from Clare.

    For every spailpín has a watch and a chain
    They drive their machines through the mud and the rain
    Ye'll be eating raw praties as sure as ye're there
    For the farmers are broken said Paddy from Clare.
