Delaney's Donkey - Val Doonican[00:00:00]

Now Delaney had a donkey that everyone admired[00:00:01]

Temporarily lazy and permanently tired[00:00:05]

A leg at every corner balancing his head[00:00:08]

And a tail to let you know which end he wanted to be fed[00:00:11]

Riley slyly said we've underrated it why not train it then they took a rag[00:00:14]

They rubbed it scrubbed it they oiled and embrocated it[00:00:21]

Got it at the post and when the starter dropped the flag[00:00:24]

There was Riley pushin' it shovin' it shushin' it[00:00:27]

Hogan Logan and everyone in town[00:00:30]

Lined up attackin' it and shovin' it and smackin' it[00:00:34]

They might as well have tried to push the Town Hall down[00:00:37]

The donkey was eyein' them openly defyin' them[00:00:40]

Winkin' blinkin' and twistin' out of place[00:00:43]

Riley reversin' it everybody cursin' it[00:00:46]

The day Delaney's donkey ran the halfmile race[00:00:49]

The muscles of the mighty never known to flinch[00:00:53]

They couldn't move the donkey a quarter of an inch[00:00:56]

Delaney lay exhausted hangin' round his throat[00:00:59]

With a grip just like a Scotsman on the five pound note[00:01:02]

Starter Carter he lined up with the rest of them[00:01:05]

When it saw them it was willin' then[00:01:09]

It raced up braced up ready for the best of them[00:01:12]

They started off to cheer it but it changed it's mind again[00:01:15]

And there was Riley pushin' it shovin' it shushin' it[00:01:18]

Hogan Logan and Mary Ann Macgraw[00:01:22]

She started pokin' it an' grabbin' it an' chokin' it[00:01:25]

It kicked her in the bustle and it laughed hee-hah[00:01:28]

The whigs and conservatives the radical superlatives[00:01:31]

Liberals and tories they hurried to the place[00:01:35]

Stood there in unity helpin' the community[00:01:38]

The day Delaney's donkey ran the halfmile race[00:01:41]

The crowd began to cheer it then Rafferty the judge[00:01:44]

He came to assist them but still it wouldn't budge[00:01:47]

And The jockey who was riding little little John MacGee[00:01:50]

Was so thoroughly disgusted that he went to have his tea[00:01:54]

Hagan Fagan was students of psychology[00:01:57]

Swore they'd shift it with some dynamite[00:02:00]

They bought it brought it and without apology[00:02:03]

The donkey gave a sneeze and blew the her out of sight[00:02:07]

There was Riley pushing it shoving it and shushing it[00:02:10]

Hogan Logan and all the bally crew[00:02:13]

Police and auxil'ary[00:02:16]

The Garrison Artillery[00:02:18]

The Second Enniskillen's and the Life Guards too[00:02:19]

They seized it and harried it[00:02:23]

They picked it up and carried it[00:02:24]

Cheered it steered it to the winning place[00:02:26]

Then the Bookies drew aside[00:02:31]

And They all commited suicide[00:02:34]

The day Delaney's donkey won the halfmile race[00:02:37]
