Limerick Style |
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 |
