Bawdy Songs and Backroom Ballads

0

[Chorus]
Tiddly-ay-ay, tiddly-ay-ay
Tiddly-ay-ay, the one-eyed Reilly
Jigger-jig-jig, jigger-jig-jig
Jigger-jig-jig, tres bon
[Verse 1]
Sitting by the fireside
I was a-drinking gin and water
Suddenly, there come to mind
I'd like to shag O'Reilly's daughter
[Chorus]
Tiddly-ay-ay, tiddly-ay-ay
Tiddly-ay-ay, the one-eyed Reilly
Jigger-jig-jig, jigger-jig-jig
Jigger-jig-jig, tres bon
[Verse 2]
Oscar Brand is my name
America is my nation
Drinking gin, my claim to fame
Shagging girls is my occupation
[Chorus]
Tiddly-ay-ay, tiddly-ay-ay
Tiddly-ay-ay, the one-eyed Reilly
Jigger-jig-jig, jigger-jig-jig
Jigger-jig-jig, tres bon
[Verse 3]
Well, walking through thе park that day
Who should I meet but O'Reilly's daughter
Nevеr a word I had to say
Don't you think we really oughta?
[Chorus]
Tiddly-ay-ay, tiddly-ay-ay
Tiddly-ay-ay, the one-eyed Reilly
Jigger-jig-jig, jigger-jig-jig
Jigger-jig-jig, tres bon
[Verse 4]
Well, down the stairs and into bed
I shagged and shagged until I stover
Never a word the maiden said
Laughed like hell till the fun was over
[Chorus]
Tiddly-ay-ay, tiddly-ay-ay
Tiddly-ay-ay, the one-eyed Reilly
Jigger-jig-jig, jigger-jig-jig
Jigger-jig-jig, tres bon
[Verse 5]
I heard a knock upon the door
Who should it be but the one-eyed Reilly
Two horse pistols in his belt
He was in a fit entirely
[Chorus]
Tiddly-ay-ay, tiddly-ay-ay
Tiddly-ay-ay, the one-eyed Reilly
Jigger-jig-jig, jigger-jig-jig
Jigger-jig-jig, tres bon
[Verse 6]
Well, I grabbed O'Reilly by the hair
I thrust his head in a pale of water
Rammed the pistols up his butt
Damn sight horror, and I shagged his daughter
[Chorus]
Tiddly-ay-ay, tiddly-ay-ay
Tiddly-ay-ay, the one-eyed Reilly
Jigger-jig-jig, jigger-jig-jig
Jigger-jig-jig, tres bon
[Verse 7]
Now all you lasses, all you maids
Answer now and don't speak shyly
Would you have it straight and true
Or the way I give it to the one-eyed Reilly?
[Chorus]
Tiddly-ay-ay, tiddly-ay-ay
Tiddly-ay-ay, the one-eyed Reilly
Jigger-jig-jig, jigger-jig-jig
Jigger-jig-jig, tres bon
