Billy Blathin of Boghill Road
Blarney Bagpipes blew and bubbled
That black day that Bombs a'rubbled
Billy Blathin from Boghill road
bit the big one, and bit it cold
Boozed it up in big band manner
And bought the big one in the slammer
Blarney Bagpipes blew and bubbled
That black day that Bombs a'rubbled
Like Bogmen blopping in the shire
The bagpipes burst threw mud and mire
They bobbled threw brambles at their best
Burst out old Billy Blathin's last request
Back on Boghill road in late December,
Billy had begged some booze from'a'lender
Got blasted, baked, and banged around
Barking and baulking with quite a sound
And he was bothered by morning light
Boarded in the brig "for a fortnight!"
And when the bombs came a bursting,
Broiling, blasting, baking, and burning
And burping balls of boorish flames
They sent big bands of people to the lanes
Running from the blatant danger,
They left poor Billy in the manger.
Blarney Bagpipes blew and bubbled
That black day that Bombs a'rubbled
The city board blubbered and began
"Boldly we'll bath his body if we can:
The Bold and Brightest Billy Blathin
The greatest Man we've ever gazen"
Blarney Bagpipes blew and bubbled
That black day that Bombs a'rubbled
Billy Blathin was but a bother,
Until he blew up in a frother
And then the town bid farewell and martyred
The "Blessed and beautiful and big hearted"
