FANCY FILLY FINANCING
(new lyrics to: GRANDMA’S IN THE CELLAR)
I-rish I had a shilling
For redheads unwilling
To give me even the time of day…
For many the lass
Who this poor boy will pass
Refusing to go e’en part of the way!
–
Chasing gold
Gets old
When the end of rainbows run away…
The finest Irish girls
Using me for finger twirls
Then finding another man with which to stay.
–
A guy just off the boat
Decided to devote
Energies to take away my Carol girl…
This Irish boy called George
Deepened the gorge
By taking Carol out for a whirl.
–
Spoke a line,
Spent his dime
To steal away my only first girlfriend…
Held back a grade he was mature
Making his girl conquest sure,
I barely saw her ’til the school year’s end!
–Jonathan Caswell
