More Than You Can Chew |
| Perhaps the best known Irish March, The March of the King of Laois, forms |
| The basic melodic structure of this song — a warning to Maeve from |
| Cu Chulainn. |
| People say you’re dressed to kill. |
| You’re not a girl to come on slow. |
| Once you get the bit between your teeth |
| You don’t feel like letting go. |
| But before you hit off |
| Let me say you’ve bit off |
| More than you can chew. |
| I recall just how you laughed, |
| And you tried to make a fool of me. |
| How you thought you could get away |
| Without me knowing is hard to see. |
| Though things may look doubtful, |
| You’ve got yourself a mouthful |
| More than you can chew. |
| You can give me back my pride |
| And I will trade you all that’s due. |
| Cos like a spider I’m creeping back |
| Gonna spin my web all over you. |
| And if you take it in haste |
| You’re gonna waste |
| Aah you can’t taste |
| More than you can chew. |
