Biddy McGraw (or, the Bra Strangler)
|
Biddy McGraw (or, the Bra Strangler) Traditional Irish tune ("traditional" meaning that it's been around for a good long time, nobody seems to know who wrote it, and plenty of people have recorded it): I'll tell you all a story, it'll give you quite a shock It's all about the murders on the Ring's End dock The girl in question was Biddy McGraw She strangled two sailors with the straps of her bra With me toorayeah, faladiddledah, tooraye, oohraye, orrayeah They tried to get her with hell-fire and liquor But smart as they were, they still couldn't trick her She remembered a story, told by her ma And she quickly untied the straps of her bra With me toorayeah, faladiddledah, tooraye, oohraye, orrayeah She tied one 'round the big fella's head And she flung him in the Liffey like a crust of bread The little fella laughed and he went "Ha Ha!" So she stuffed his gob with the rest of her bra With me toorayeah, faladiddledah, tooraye, oohraye, orrayeah She got home about a quarter to one Very happy and contented with a job well done She ups and tells her ma and her pa Sayin' "Thanks be to Jesus I was wearin' me bra!" With me toorayeah, faladiddledah, tooraye, oohraye, orrayeah So if you're a little girl who likes sailors at night Make sure that the straps of your bra are tight Remember the story of Biddy McGraw Keep one hand on your knickers and the other on your bra! With me toorayeah, faladiddledah, tooraye, oohraye, orrayeah |
