Have you heard of him, the fluter of the town of Ballymuck?
Times were going hard with him, in fact the man was broke.
He just sent out a notice to the neighbors, one and all,
As how he'd like their company that evening at a ball.
And one right note he was careful to suggest to them,
If [D] they found a hat at his convenience to the door,
The more they put in, the more [G] he requested.
And the better would the music be for battering in the floor,
With the toot and the flute and the twiddle of the fiddle,
Up in the middle like a heron on the griddle,
Up, down, hands around, crossing to the wall,
Oh hadn't we the gaiety of Phil the Flute at Ball?
There was Mr.
Dennis Doherty who kept the running dog,
Little Crooked Patty from the Turlucket Bog,
Boys from every barony and girls from every art,
The beautiful Miss Brady in a private ass'n cart,
Along with them came the bouncing Mrs.
Cafferty,
Little Millie Mulligan was also to the fore,
Rose Suzanne and Margarita Rafferty,
The flowers, the Ferrari and the pride of Petrivore,
With the toot and the flute [C] and the twiddle of the fiddle,
[G] Up in the middle like a heron on the griddle,
Up, down, hands around, crossing to the wall,
Oh hadn't we the gaiety of Phil the Flute at Ball?
[Ab] Then Phil the Flute tiptoed to Little Crooked Pat,
I think it's nearly time for Z for passing round that,
So Patty passed the carving round looking mighty cute,
Says you've got to pay the piper when he's toothering on the flute,
All joined in with greatest joviality,
Covering the buckle and the shuffle and the cut,
Jake's word danced of the very finest quality,
The way to bet the company at handle in the foot,
With the toot and the flute and [Db] the twiddle of the fiddle,
[Ab] Up in the middle like a heron on the griddle,
Up, down, hands around, crossing to the wall,
Oh hadn't we [Bbm] the gaiety at Phil the [Eb] Flute at Ball?
