lirik lagu cleo laine & james galway - the fluter's ball
[verse 1]
have you heard of phil the fluter from the town of ballymuck?
whenever he was down and out and didn’t have no luck
he would circulate a notice to his neighbours one and all
as to how he’d like some company that evening at a ball
and when writing out he was careful to suggest to them
that if they found a hat of his convenient to the door
the more they put in whenever he requested them
the better would the music be for battering the floor
[chorus]
with a toot on the flute
and a twiddle on the fiddle~o
hopping in the middle like a herrin’ on the griddle~o
up, down, hands around
crossing to the wall
oh, wasn’t it a gaiety at phil the fluter’s ball?
[verse 2]
so little micky mulligan got up to show them how
and then the widow cafferty steps out and makes her bow
“i could dance you off your legs,” says she, “as sure as you are born
if you’ll only make the piper play ‘the hare is in the corn'”
so phil plays up to the best of his ability
the lady and the gentleman begin to do their share
while young mick was a~flouncing with agility
decrepit mrs. cafferty was leaping like a hare
[chorus]
oh, the toot on the flute
and a twiddle on the fiddle~o
hopping in the middle like a herrin’ on the griddle~o
up, down, hands around
crossing to the wall
oh, wasn’t it a gaiety at phil the fluter’s ball?
[verse 3]
then phil the fluter tipped a wink to little crooked pat
“i think it’s nearly time,” says he, “for passing round the hat”
so paddy did the necessary, looking mighty cute
says, “you’ve got to pay the piper when he tootles on the flute”
then all joined in with the greatest joviality
covering the buckle and the shuffle and the drink
jigs were danced of the very finest quality
the widow found the hutchman and the fluter found the rent
[chorus]
oh, the toot on the flute
and a twiddle on the fiddle~o
hopping in the middle like a herrin’ on the griddle~o
up, down, hands around
crossing to the wall
oh, wasn’t it a gaiety at phil the fluter’s ball?
