The Irish Ballad - Tom Lehrer
Now I'd like to turn to the folk song
Which has become in
Recent years the particularly fashionable form of idiocy among
The self styled intellectual
We find that people who deplore
The level of current popular songs
Although I admit they do
Seem to be recording almost anything these days
Have you heard
Sesue Hayakawa's record of
Remember Pearl Harbor
These these same people who deplore the level of
Current popular songs and yet
Will sit around enthralled singing
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care
Or Green Grow The Rushes
Oh whatever that means
At any rate for this elite
I have here an ancient Irish
Ballad which was written a few years ago
And which is replete
With all the accoutrements of this art form
In particular it has
A sort of idiotic refrain
In this case rickety tickety tin
You'll notice cropping up from time to time
Running through
I might add
Interminable verses The large number of verses
Being a feature expressly designed to please the true devotees
Of the folk song who seem to find singing fifty verses of
On Top Of Old Smoky
Is twice as enjoyable as singing twenty five
This this type of song also has
What is known technically in music as
A modal tune which means
For the benefit of any layman who
May have wandered in this evening
That I play a wrong note
Every now and then
This song though does differ strikingly from the genuine
Folk ballad in that in this song the words
Which are supposed
To rhyme actually do
I ah I really should say that
I do not direct these remarks
Against the vast army of folk song lovers
But merely against
That peculiar hardcore who seem to equate authenticity with
Artistic merit and illiteracy with charm
Oh one more thing
One of the more important aspects of public
Folk singing is audience participation
And this happens to be a
Good song for group singing
So if any of you feel like joining
In with me on this song
I'd appreciate it if you would leave
Right now
About a maid I'll sing a song
Sing rickety tickety tin
About a maid I'll sing a song
Who didn't have her family long
Not only did she do them wrong
She did every one of them in
Them in
She did every one of them in
One morning in a fit of pique
Sing rickety tickety tin
One morning in a fit of pique
She drowned her father in the creek
The water tasted bad for a week
And we had to make do with gin
With gin
And we had to make do with gin
Her mother she could never stand
Sing rickety tickety tin
Her mother she could never stand
And so a cyanide soup she planned
Her mother died with a spoon in her hand
And her face in a hideous grin
A grin
Her face in a hideous grin
She set her sister's hair on fire
Rickety tickety tin
She set her sister's hair on fire
And as the smoke and flame rose higher
Danced around the funeral pyre
Playin' a violin
'Olin
Playin' a violin
She weighted her brother down with stones
Rickety tickety tin
She weighted her brother down with stones
And sent him off to Davy Jones
All they ever found were some bones
And the occasional pieces of skin
Of skin
Occasional pieces of sking
One day when she had nothing to do
Rickety tickety tin
One day when she had nothing to do
She cut her baby brother in two
And served him up as an Irish stew
And invited the neighbors in
Bors in
Invited the neighbors in
And when at last the police came by
Rickety tickety tin
And when at last the police came by
Her little pranks she did not deny
To do so she would have had to lie
And lying she knew was a sin
A sin
Lying she knew was a sin
My tragic tale I won't prolong
Rickety tickety tin
My tragic tale I won't prolong
And if you do not enjoy my song
You've yourselves to blame if it's too long
You should never have let me begin
Begin
You should never have let me begin
