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

About a maid I'll sing a song[00:00:07]

Sing rickety-tickety-tin[00:00:09]

About a maid I'll sing a song[00:00:11]

Who didn't have her family long[00:00:14]

Not only did she do them wrong[00:00:16]

She did every one of them in[00:00:20]

Them in[00:00:22]

She did every one of them in[00:00:23]

One morning in a fit of pique[00:00:27]

Sing rickety-tickety-tin[00:00:29]

One morning in a fit of pique[00:00:32]

She drowned her father in the creek[00:00:34]

The water tasted bad for a week[00:00:36]

And we had to make do with gin[00:00:40]

With gin[00:00:42]

We had to make do with gin[00:00:44]

Her mother she could never stand[00:00:47]

Sing rickety-tickety-tin[00:00:49]

Her mother she could never stand[00:00:52]

And so a cyanide soup she planned[00:00:54]

Her mother died with a spoon in her hand[00:00:57]

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

A grin[00:01:04]

Her face in a hideous grin[00:01:05]

She set her sister's hair on fire[00:01:09]

Rickety-tickety-tin[00:01:11]

She set her sister's hair on fire[00:01:13]

And as the smoke and flame rose higher[00:01:15]

Danced around the funeral pyre[00:01:18]

Playin' a violin[00:01:22]

'Olin[00:01:24]

Playin' a violin[00:01:26]

She weighted her brother down with stones[00:01:29]

Rickety-tickety-tin[00:01:31]

She weighted her brother down with stones[00:01:33]

And sent him off to Davy Jones[00:01:35]

All they ever found were some bones[00:01:36]

And the occasional pieces of skin[00:01:41]

Of skin[00:01:45]

Occasional pieces of skin[00:01:46]

One day when she had nothing to do[00:01:49]

Rickety-tickety-tin[00:01:52]

One day when she had nothing to do[00:01:54]

She cut her baby brother in two[00:01:56]

And served him up as an Irish stew[00:01:58]

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

'Bors in[00:02:05]

Invited the neighbors in[00:02:06]

And when at last the police came by[00:02:09]

Rickety-tickety-tin[00:02:11]

And when at last the police came by[00:02:14]

Her little pranks she did not deny[00:02:16]

To do so she would have had to lie[00:02:18]

And lying she knew was a sin[00:02:22]

A sin[00:02:25]

Lying she knew was a sin[00:02:26]

My tragic tale I won't prolong[00:02:30]

Rickety-tickety-tin[00:02:32]

My tragic tale I won't prolong[00:02:33]

And if you do not enjoy my song[00:02:35]

You've yourselves to blame if it's too long[00:02:37]

You should never have let me begin[00:02:40]

Begin[00:02:43]

You should never have let me begin[00:02:44]
