The Crossed Butcher And The Cackling Hen

Hot Dog! Get Right!

Crosseyed man was a butcher boy
Hired Pat McCann a cow to hold
Pat took the job for there weren't any pains
The work was light and a regular thing
Pat took the cow and the butcher took the ax
"Now hold her till I give her a whack"
Pat gazed in his eye with a bold dismay, hold on a minute I say

Are you gonna strike where you're looking now
The butcher says "Yes, so don't raise a row"
Well if you're gonna strike where you're looking now
Get another man for to hold the cow
Shout Lu, Shout Lu, I'm going away

Pat asked the dentist if he could take
A bad tooth out without an ache
Oh, the dentist said, "Is that the place
"Sat Pat in the chair and he opened up his face

So he gave a boy a pin that measured
two feet, "When I pull jab in the seat"
Oh, the dentist he pulled and the boy he jabbed
Pat jumped and hollered, "Bejabbers I'm stabbed"
Oh, there's the root and there you are
Pat said, "I didn't know it ran down so far"

Shout Lu, Shout Lu, I'm going away

Old hen cackled, she cackled in the lot,
Next time she cackled it was in the pot
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, Shoo
Shanghai chicken ain't got no comb, This old roustabout got no home

Old hen sitting in the parlor stack
Hawk flew down and took her in the back
Shanghai chicken ain't got no comb
This old roustabout got no home
