The Irish BalladTom Lehrer

(4/4 time)

Intro: Four bars of Dm

1 A-[Dm]-bout a maid I’ll sing a song, Sing rickety-[Gm]-tickety-[Dm]-tin.

A-[Dm]-bout a maid I’ll sing a song, Who didn’t [C] have her [Dm] family long,

Not only [Gm] did she [Dm] do them [Gm] wrong …

She [Dm] did every-[C]-one of them [Dm] in, them [C] in;

She [Dm] did every-[C]-one of them [Dm] in.

2 One morning in a :t of pique, Sing rickety-tickety-tin.

One morning in a :t 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; we had to make do with gin.

3 Her mother she could never stand, Sing rickety-tickety-tin.

Her mother she could never stand, So a cyanide soup for her she planned.

Her mother died with the spoon in her hand …

And her face in a hideous grin, a grin; her face in a hideous grin.

4 She set her sister’s hair on :re, Sing rickety-tickety-tin.

She set her sister’s hair on :re, And as the smoke and <ame grew high’r

She danced around the funeral pyre …

Playing a violin, ‘olin; playing a violin.

5 She weighted her brother down with stones, Sing rickety-tickety-tin.

She weighted her brother down with stones, And sent him o@ to Davy Jones.

All they ever found were some bones …

And occasional pieces of skin, of skin; occasional pieces of skin.

6 One day when she had nothing to do, Sing 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 neighbours in, ‘bours in; she invited the neighbours in.

7 And when at last the law came by, Sing rickety-tickety-tin.

And when at last the law came by, Her little pranks she did not deny.

For in doing so she would have had to lie …

And lying she knew was a sin, a sin; lying she knew was a sin.

8 My tragic tale I won’t prolong, Sing rickety-tickety-tin.

My tragic tale I won’t prolong, And if you didn’t 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.
