(Air: The Wearing of the Green.)
Kilkenny dear, and did ye hear this most surprising news?
Here's three bould men come coortin' you and which can you refuse?
A bigger and a bloodier fight has never yet been seen,
And they're breaking one another's heads in Committee Room fifteen.

I met Chief Justice Healy and I took him by the hand:
"Oh! how is ould Ireland, and how does she stand?"
Potatoes rot and peasants pine: disthress will soon be seen:
And they're breaking one another's heads in Committee Room fifteen."
