The Dunnes Song
I was once well acquainted with
a man called Joseph Dunne,
A very respectable sort of a man
and fond of harmless fun,
He courted young and married was
when he was twenty-one,
And a very respectable family had Mr. & Mrs. Dunne.
Chorus:
For there was High Dunne and Low Dunne, Under Dunne and Over Dunne,
All the other younger Dunnes, in and out they run;
There was our Dunne, and young Dunne, and young Dunne's youngest son;
Young Dunne will be a Dunne
When oul' Dunne's done.
In the course of time this Joseph Dunne he found himself a wife,
And soon he found he had to fight the hardest fight of life;
To keep ten little bellies full,
and a wife that weighed a ton,
To any man who can do all that,
you have to say, "Well done!"
Chorus:
When Mrs. Dunne presented Dunne
with their first bouncing son,
They named him Michael Patrick Dunne,
but called him Cherry Plum,
And when the price of bread went up,
and more children did come,
Said Mrs. Dunne to Mr. Dunne,
"More bread or we'll be done."
Chorus:
So here's to the youngest son of Dunne,
likewise to the eldest Dunne,
And here's to the youngest son of Dunne
when the eldest Dunne is done,
For any man can be well done
in this big wicked world,
What's done by Dunne must be well-done,
so well done good oul' Dunne.
Chorus:
