    To celebrate old ninety eight I've had a challenge dance.
    The place erected for the dance was Thomas Daly's hill.
    And you could see around Ardee and all through Culloville.
    To Carrickmacross and Collan Grove to the Blaney lakes of blue.
    The Mobane boys they fear no noise,
    Their fears are far less few.
