Limerick Style - Fiddler's Green

There was a pretty young lady, pretty lady named Bright

My God she travelled so much faster, so much faster than light

And when she set out one day

In a relative way

Was gone and came back, and came back the previous night

There was a spunky young man, a brave fellow from Lyme

My God he married three wives, oh three wives at a time

When asked «why a third?»

He replied «one's absurd!

And bigamy, sir, is a terrible crime!»

Two wives at a time?

What a terrible crime!

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Down to Limerick Town, going round and round

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Where you’ll find a rhyme from another time

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Do the limerick style from the Emerald Isle

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Five lines in your hand

Send you round the bend

There was a fearless young lady, fearless lady from Riga

And she smiled as she rode, as she rode on a tiger

They came back from the ride

With the lady inside

And a fairly broad smile on the face of the tiger

There was a clever young canner, exceedingly canny

And one morning he remarked, he remarked to his granny

A canner can can

Anything that he can

But a canner can’t can a can.

Can he?

Exceedingly canny

He remarked to his granny:

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Down to Limerick City, where the words are gritty

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Where you’ll find a rhyme from another time

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Do the limerick style from the Emerald Isle

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Five lines in your hand

Send you round the bend

«What's a limerick, mother?»

«It's a form of verse», said brother

«In which lines one and two

Rhyme with five when it’s through

And three and four rhyme with each other»

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Down to Limerick Town, going round and round

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Down to Limerick City, where the words are gritty

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Do the limerick style from the Emerald Isle

Come with me — We’ll follow you!

Send you round the bend
