Phil the Fluter's Ball - Peter Dawson[00:00:01]

Have you heard of Phil the Fluther of the town of Ballymuck[00:00:06]

The times were going hard with him in fact the man was broke[00:00:09]

So he just sent out a notice to his neighbours one an all[00:00:11]

As to how he'd like their company that evening at a ball[00:00:14]

And when writing out he was careful to suggest to them[00:00:17]

That if they found a hat of his convenient to the dure[00:00:19]

The more they put in whenever he requested them[00:00:22]

The better would the music be for batthering the flure[00:00:25]

With the toot of the flute And the twiddle of the fiddle O[00:00:28]

Hopping in the middle like a herring on the griddle O[00:00:30]

Up down hands around crossing to the wall[00:00:33]

Oh hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the fluther's ball[00:00:36]

There was Misther Denis Dogherty who kept the running dog[00:00:44]

There was little crooked Paddy from the Tiraloughett bog[00:00:47]

There was boys from every Barony and girls from every art[00:00:49]

And the beautiful Miss Bradys in a private ass and cart[00:00:52]

And along with them came the bouncing Mrs Cafferty[00:00:55]

Little Micky Mulligan was also to the fore[00:00:58]

Rose Suzanne and Margaret O'Rafferty[00:01:00]

The flower of Ardmagullion and the pride of Pethravore[00:01:03]

With the toot of the flute And the twiddle of the fiddle O[00:01:06]

Hopping in the middle like a herring on the griddle O[00:01:09]

Up down hands around crossing to the wall[00:01:11]

Oh hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the fluther's ball[00:01:14]

First little Micky Mulligan got up to show them how[00:01:22]

And then the Widda' Cafferty steps out and makes her bow[00:01:25]

I could dance you off[00:01:28]

Your legs sez her as sure as you are born[00:01:29]

If you'll only make the piper play[00:01:30]

The hare was in the corn[00:01:32]

So Phil plays up to the best of his ability[00:01:33]

The lady and the gentleman began to do their share[00:01:36]

Faith then Mick it's you that has agility[00:01:39]

Begorra Mrs Cafferty yer lepping like a hare[00:01:42]

With the toot of the flute And the twiddle of the fiddle O[00:01:44]

Hopping in the middle like a herring on the griddle O[00:01:47]

Up down hands around crossing to the wall[00:01:50]

Oh hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the fluther's ball[00:01:52]

Then Phil the Fluther tipped a wink to little Crooked Pat[00:02:01]

I think it's nearly time sez he for passing round the hat[00:02:03]

So Paddy pass'd the caubeen round and looking mighty cute[00:02:06]

Sez You've got to pay the piper when he toothers on the flute[00:02:09]

Then all joined in with the greatest joviality[00:02:12]

Covering the buckle and the shuffle and the cut[00:02:15]

Jigs were danced of the very finest quality[00:02:17]

But the Widda' bet the company at handling the fut[00:02:20]

With the toot of the flute And the twiddle of the fiddle O[00:02:22]

Hopping in the middle like a herring on the griddle O[00:02:25]

Up down hands around crossing to the wall[00:02:28]

Oh hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the fluther's ball[00:02:31]
