Grandson of New Limerick (Son of New Limerick contd.)

I’ve just made a strawberry tart
And gobbled up the largest part
Henry got nasty
Demanded a pasty

I’ve just made a strawberry tart
And gobbled up the largest part
Henry got nasty
Demanded a pasty
So I made one - a real work of art!

I’m off for a swim in the sea

I'm off for a swim in the sea
I hope it's not too cold for me

I'm off for a swim in the sea
I hope it's not too cold for me
Vital bits might turn blue

I'm off for a swim in the sea
I hope it's not too cold for me
Vital bits might turn blue
I wouldn't know what to do

I'm off for a swim in the sea
I hope it's not too cold for me
Vital bits might turn blue
I wouldn't know what to do
Except a big warm cup of tea

Brought to me by my nice pal Fred

Brought to me by my nice pal Fred
A brand new mattress for my double bed.

Brought to me by my nice pal Fred
A brand new mattress for my double bed
I might sleep all day

Brought to me by my nice pal Fred
A brand new mattress for my double bed
I might sleep all day
Right here I'll stay

Brought to me by my nice pal Fred
A brand new mattress for my double bed
I might sleep all day
Right here I'll stay
Or perhaps I’ll get up instead

I’ve decided I’m getting a boat

I’ve decided I’m getting a boat
Just hope the darned thing will float!

I’ve decided I’m getting a boat
Just hope the darned thing will float!
I'll set forth on the lake

I’ve decided I’m getting a boat
Just hope the darned thing will float!
I'll set forth on the lake
With the ducks in my wake

I've decided I'm getting a boat
Just hope the darned thing will float
I'll set forth on the lake
With ducks in my wake
A life-jacket over my coat

This wild swimming is not for me

This wild swimming is not for me
I prefer to be safe on the quay

This wild swimming is not for me
I prefer to be safe on the quay
With my fresh cod and chips

This wild swimming is not for me
I prefer to be safe on the quay
With my fresh cod and chips
I can gaze at the ships

This wild swimming is not for me
I prefer to be safe on the quay
With my fresh cod and chips
I can gaze at the ships
And then have a huge scone with my tea.

Gosh my clothes they seem rather tight

Gosh my clothes they seem rather tight
What to do in this terrible plight?

Gosh my clothes they seem rather tight
What to do in this terrible plight
I think I must diet

Gosh my clothes they seem rather tight
What to do in this terrible plight
I think I must diet
I really should try it

Gosh my clothes they seem rather tight
What to do in this terrible plight
I think I must diet
I really should try it
And my desire to snack I must fight

I’m off for a cruise to the Med

I'm off for a cruise to the Med
The cabin has a luxury bed

I'm off for a cruise to the Med
The cabin has a luxury bed
I'll have a good snooze

I'm off for a cruise to the Med
The cabin has a luxury bed
I'll have a good snooze
And enjoy the good views
