(Hole in the Piper's Bag)



Mrs. Stilhouli (Gilhooley?) gave a good party one night

She invited us all to attend.

We gathered a gang, jumped down to her house

A few pleasant hours for to spend.

There was Duffy and Charlie and Flynn and meself

Well, a crowd wasn't hard for ta find,

But the t'ing most important we almost forgot

We near' left the piper behind.

We invited him down to the party

He brought his bagpipe just by chance

We asked him to sing, but he says, ''Ah, no''

But offered us a bit of a dance.

He picked up his pipes, he started to play

Some one got foolin' about

And cut a great hole in the bag of his pipes

And here is the tune that came out:

Naaaaa, needeleedelum needeligh needeleedeleedel

num nee nigh daloh dalah daleedeleedel

lumdeeligh daligh daloh dadeedeleedel

dalumdeeligh dalohdaleedeleedeligh

When the piper found out that his bag, it was cut

Sure he gave a great leap on the floor

And he slipped about in a quick hammer style

And he landed him under the jaw

Mrs. Levi, she fainted, they all made a rush

Trying to get out of the door

But the piper had nine of them takin' the count

And he swore he would lick twenty more.



Well, if ever ya go to a party

Ah, you'd better keep this in your mind

Don't get vexed with a piper

For you'll find him a gentleman kind

But if trouble should start keep out of his way

For he carries an awful packtoe

Ah, you won't hear it comin' but whoop when it lands

Sure, you'll know it's an Irish gateau.
