  1. Good-morning Mick Leydon,
    They call you the brag.
    You would look very thin only for Healy's old tag,
    It fits you so neatly, only for your small head
    Every morning you rise you should pray for the dead.
    Mick has a watchgaurd that makes people laugh,
    And to crown his dishonesty he sold a blind calf
    All the people that know him says he's a queer boy
    What else would you expect
