The Irish Ballad - Tom Lehrer[00:00:00]

About a maid I'll sing a song[00:00:09]

Sing rickety tickety tin[00:00:11]

About a maid I'll sing a song[00:00:13]

Who didn't have her family long[00:00:15]

Not only did she do them wrong[00:00:18]

She did every one of them in[00:00:22]

Them in[00:00:25]

She did every one of them in[00:00:26]

One morning in a fit of pique[00:00:29]

Sing rickety tickety tin[00:00:32]

One morning in a fit of pique[00:00:34]

She drowned her father in the creek[00:00:36]

The water tasted bad for a week[00:00:38]

And we had to make do with gin[00:00:42]

With gin[00:00:44]

And we had to make do with gin[00:00:46]

Her mother she could never stand[00:00:49]

Sing rickety tickety tin[00:00:52]

Her mother she could never stand[00:00:54]

And so a cyanide soup she planned[00:00:56]

Her mother died with a spoon in her hand[00:00:59]

And her face in a hideous grin[00:01:03]

A grin[00:01:06]

Her face in a hideous grin[00:01:08]

She set her sister's hair on fire[00:01:11]

Rickety tickety tin[00:01:14]

She set her sister's hair on fire[00:01:16]

And as the smoke and flame rose higher[00:01:18]

Danced around the funeral pyre[00:01:20]

Playin' a violin[00:01:24]

'Olin[00:01:27]

Playin' a violin[00:01:28]

She weighted her brother down with stones[00:01:31]

Rickety tickety tin[00:01:33]

She weighted her brother down with stones[00:01:35]

And sent him off to Davy Jones[00:01:37]

All they ever found were some bones[00:01:39]

And the occasional pieces of skin[00:01:43]

Of skin[00:01:46]

Occasional pieces of skin[00:01:47]

One day when she had nothing to do[00:01:51]

Rickety tickety tin[00:01:53]

One day when she had nothing to do[00:01:55]

She cut her baby brother in two[00:01:58]

And served him up as an Irish stew[00:02:00]

And invited the neighbors in[00:02:03]

'Bors in[00:02:06]

Invited the neighbors in[00:02:07]

And when at last the police came by[00:02:11]

Rickety tickety tin[00:02:14]

And when at last the police came by[00:02:16]

Her little pranks she did not deny[00:02:18]

To do so she would have to lie[00:02:21]

And lying she knew was a sin[00:02:25]

A sin[00:02:27]

Lying she knew was a sin[00:02:29]

My tragic tale I won't prolong[00:02:34]

Rickety tickety tin[00:02:37]

My tragic tale I won't prolong[00:02:39]

And if you do not enjoy my song[00:02:41]

You've yourselves to blame if it's too long[00:02:44]

You should never have let me begin[00:02:48]

Begin[00:02:51]

You should never have let me begin[00:02:52]
