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

I went to the pictures today
To see Hamnet, a great film they say,
Fell asleep half way through

I went to the pictures today
To see Hamnet, a great film they say,

All this rain is hacking me off
No wonder I’ve a cold and cough
I'm calling the doc
(Who now wears a frock)
And speaks very posh, such a toff!

I went to the pictures today

All this rain is hacking me off
No wonder I’ve a cold and cough

Back to Crazy.

All this rain is hacking me off
No wonder I’ve a cold and cough
I'm calling the doc

I wonder what will happen next
Nothing much, so I feel vexed
If I were in charge,
No crooks still at large

All this rain is hacking me off
No wonder I’ve a cold and cough

I wonder what will happen next
Nothing much, so I feel quite vexed
If I were in charge
No bad ones at large
I would sack most of them by text

All this rain is hacking me off

I wonder what will happen next
Nothing much, so I feel vexed
If I were in charge,
No bad ones at large

I wonder what will happen next
Nothing much, so I feel vexed
If I were in charge,

I wonder what will happen next
Nothing much, so I feel vexed,

They drone on but things never change
Their comments cover a wide range
Steer clear of politics
The lies and the tricks
And ideas that might sound strange.

I wonder what will happen next

They drone on but things never change
Their comments cover a wide range
Steer clear of politics
The lies and the tricks

They drone on but things never change
Their comments cover a wide range
Steer clear of politics

They drone on but things never change
Their comments cover a wide range

Still haven't got used to metric
And prefer gas to electric
But bills are so high
Ask government why
Don't want to hear their rhetoric

They drone on but things never change

Still haven't got used to metric
And prefer gas to electric
But bills are so high
Ask Government why

Still haven’t got used to metric
And prefer gas to electric
But bills are so high

Still haven't got used to metric
And prefer gas to electric

And a good novel gives pleasure
When we're at rest and at leisure
I get lost in books
While dear husband cooks
I’m hoping he knows his measures

Still havent got used to metric

And a good novel gives pleasure
When we're at rest and at leisure
I get lost in books
While dear husband cooks

And a good novel gives pleasure
When we're at rest and at leisure,
I get lost in books,

And a good novel gives pleasure
When we're at rest and at leisure

Reading teaches us so much
It really helps us keep in touch
You can learn a new skill
That would fit the bill
Or languages like French or Dutch

And a good novel gives pleasure

Reading teaches us so much
It really helps us keep in touch
You can learn a new skill
That would fit the bill
