    Thick blanket sheet and all
    And your wife undressed must leave the rest
    For Jemmy of Grousehall
    9
    He'd fix a plan for a poor man
    Who had a handsome wife
    To take away without delay
    His liberty and life
    He'd swear quite plain that he's
    insane
    And has no sense at all
    As he has done of late with one
    Convenient to Grousehall

    Thank God the day is not far away
    When Home Rule will be seen
    And Parnell at home will dwell
    And shine in College green
    Our Policemen will all be then
    Through the nations call
    And ould Balfour's pack will get
    the sack
    And banished from Grousehall
