:D


behave yourself

I have it recorded, but think it should be available on the RTE player after Wednesday for the rest of the world, but will be gone from the RTE player by this Sunday as I think they only stay 7 days.

But if you want a DVD copy of it drop me a PM and I am sure we can sort something out.

(With apologies to Hanrahan)


"We'll all be ruined," said Muppet,
  In accent most forlorn,
Outside the church, ere Mass began,
  One frosty Sunday morn.


The congregation stood around,
  Coat-collars to the ears,
And talked of games and players sound,
  As it had done for years.


"It's looking rough," said Kerry Mike;
  "Bedad, it's rough, me lad,
For never since the banks went broke
  Has football been so bad."


"It's bad, all right," said Take Your Points,
  With which astute remark
He squatted down upon his heel
  And chewed a piece of bark.


And so around the chorus ran
  "It's gettin' worse, no doubt."
"We'll all be ruined," said Muppet,
  "Before the year is out."


"The sport is f***ed; ye'll have your work
  To see one dacent game;
From here way out to Kiltimagh
  They sing the same refrain.


"They sing the same refrain," he said,
  And look around and cry."
The congregation scratched its head,
  And gazed around the sky.


"Fourteen men behind the ball",
  Said the man from sweet Strabane
"The like was never seen before
  By either God or man."


"Something must be done to stop it",
  Cried Sheehy from the reek
"We'll all be ruined," said Muppet,
  "If it isn't done this week."


A heavy silence seemed to steal
  On all at this remark;
And each man squatted on his heel,
  And chewed a piece of bark.


"We want a change of rule, we do,"
  Ross Matt observed at last;
But Myles maintained we wanted two
  To put the danger past.


"If we don't get five changes, man,
  Or ten to stamp this out,
We'll all be ruined," said Muppet,
  "Before the year is out."


In God's good time the final came;
  And all the afternoon
The points were scored, and Kerry roared
  - A sweet and homely tune.


But Kerry wouldn't stop the rout
  They scored near thirty scores
Till Dublin's boys were beaten out
  Through windows, gates and doors.


And through the night they nattered still,
  And fearful, dour-faced elves
On streets and stairs and barroom chairs
  Kept talking to themselves.


Then every heart took up the song
  Way out to Kiltimagh.
"We'll all be ruined," said Muppet,
  "If Kerry aren't stopped."


And still the year went by and by
  As every other goes
And soon the spring came o'er the fields
  And football talk arose.


And, oh, the smiles on every face,
  As happy lad and lass
Through grass knee-deep in every place
  Went riding down to Mass.


While round the church in clothes genteel
  Discoursed the men of mark,
And each man squatted on his heel,
  And chewed his piece of bark.


"There'll be something bad for sure, me man,
  There will, without a doubt;
We'll all be ruined," said Muppet,
  "Before the year is out."

Waaaaayyyyy too much time on your hands Hardy..  :D
