Subject: Lyr Req: Potatoes… Arrah, not at all! From: Thompson Date: 09 May 16 - 05:14 AM I've mislaid the middle of a childhood rhyme - can anyone help? It starts: "Do you eat potatoes?" "Yes I do!" and it ends "How do you like them?" "Skins and all." "And do they not hurt you?" "Arrah, not at all!" It was always said in a rural Cork accent - shkins and aahhll… and in a tone of astonishment "Arrah, not at aaaahhhll!" I think the third line might be "How do you like them?" Anyone? |
