   The following song was composed by the late Phil O'Neill a well known Gallic writer

   I
   In Dublin big town there's some fine hotels.
   When the give board and lodging to all the big swells.
   There's blinds on the window and bells on the doors
   And beautiful carpets laid down on the floors,
   But the grandest of all 'tis now in full swing
   A beautiful building controlled by the king
   I was once there myself and the truth I must tell.
   There's no digs in Dublin like the Mountjoy Hotel.

   II
   I was met at the train by a porter and bus.
   And he brought me along with a great deal of fuss
   We drove through the streets like a viceroy in state.
   And we never drew rein till we stopped at the gate.
   I was brought to a room where they took down my name.
   The asked my adrdress and the reason I came.
   When I answered them questions the clerk rang the bell
   I was ordered a bath in the Mountjoy Hotel.

   III
   When I got through the bath sure my blood was nigh froze
   The attendant he brought a new suit of clothes.
   The finish was fine and the pattern grand
   And over it all was a beautiful brand
