[00:00:03] The Irish Ballad -Tom Lehrer

[00:00:09] About a maid I'll sing a song

[00:00:10] Sing rickety-tickety-tin

[00:00:11] About a maid I'll sing a song

[00:00:11] Who didn't have her family long

[00:00:12] Not only did she do them wrong

[00:00:13] She did ev'ryone of them in them in

[00:00:15] She did ev'ryone of them in

[00:00:16] One morning in a fit of pique

[00:00:18] Sing rickety-tickety-tin

[00:00:18] One morning in a fit of pique

[00:00:19] She drowned her father in the creek

[00:00:20] The water tasted bad for a week

[00:00:21] And we had to make do with gin with gin

[00:00:23] We had to make do with gin

[00:00:24] Her mother she could never stand

[00:00:25] Sing rickety-tickety-tin

[00:00:25] Her mother she cold never stand

[00:00:29] And so a cyanide soup she planned

[00:00:31] The mother died with a spoon in her hand

[00:00:33] And her face in a hideous grin a grin

[00:00:36] Her face in a hideous grin

[00:00:37] She set her sister's hair on fire

[00:00:38] Sing rickety-tickety-tin

[00:00:39] She set her sister's hair on fire

[00:00:41] And as the smoke and flame rose high'are

[00:00:43] Danced around the funeral pyre

[00:00:44] Playing' a violin -olin

[00:00:49] Playing' a violin

[00:00:50] She weighted her brother down with stones

[00:00:54] Rickety-tickety-tin

[00:00:54] She weighted her brother down with stones

[00:00:56] And sent him off to davy jones

[00:00:59] All they ever found were some bones

[00:01:01] And occasional pieces of skin of skin

[00:01:03] Occasional pieces of skin

[00:01:24] One day when she had nothing to do

[00:01:26] Sing rickety-tickety-tin

[00:01:27] One day when she had nothing to do

[00:01:30] She cut her baby brother in two

[00:01:33] And served him up as an irish stew

[00:01:35] And invited the neighbors in -bors in

[00:01:36] Invited the neighbors in

[00:01:37] And when at last the police came by

[00:01:38] Sing rickety-tickety-tin

[00:01:39] And when at last the police came by

[00:01:43] Her little pranks she did not deny

[00:01:44] To do so she would have had to lie

[00:01:48] And lying she knew was a sin a sin

[00:01:53] Lying she knew was a sin

[00:01:56] My tragic tale i won't prolong

[00:02:18] Rickety-tickety-tin

[00:02:19] My tragic tale i won't prolong

[00:02:20] And if you do not enjoy my song

[00:02:24] You've yourselves to blame if it's too long

[00:02:30] You should never have let me begin begin

[00:02:32] You should never have let me begin
