Biddy McGra - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Now I'll tell you a story that is bound to shock

It's all about a murder on the Rings-End Dock

The girl in question Biddy McGra

And she strangled two sailors with the straps of her bra

With me toor-i-aa, fol-the-did-dle-ahh

Toor-i-oor-i-toor-i-aah

Two sailors tried to dose her with her oul' foreign liquor

But try as they might they couldn't trick her

She remembered a lesson that she learned from her Ma

And she quickly untied all the straps of her bra

With me toor-i-aa, fol-the-did-dle-ahh

Toor-i-oor-i-toor-i-aah

She tied the straps around the big fellow's head

And she threw him in the Liffy like a crust of bread

Then the small fellow came up and laughed "Hee-Haw"

So she stuffed his gob with the rest of her bra

With me toor-i-aa, fol-the-did-dle-ahh

Toor-i-oor-i-toor-i-aah

She got home that night at a quarter to one

Aye happy and content with the job she's done

She told her story to her Ma and her Da

Said "Thanks be to heavens I wore me bra"

With me toor-i-aa, fol-the-did-dle-ahh

Toor-i-oor-i-toor-i-aah

She appeared in court the very next day

And the judge he said "You will have to pay

I sentence you Miss Biddy McGra

To hang from the gallows by the straps of your bra"

With me toor-i-aa, fol-the-did-dle-ahh

Toor-i-oor-i-toor-i-aah

Now if find a girl who likes a sailor by night

Make sure her bra isn't tied too tight

Remember the lesson of Biddy McGra

And keep one of your hands on the straps of her bra

With me toor-i-aa, fol-the-did-dle-ahh

Toor-i-oor-i-toor-i-aah
