A knock on the knee when I was wee

I used to sit on m' mammy's knee.

Her apron tore

An' I fell on the floor

An' that was the end o' me.

She chased me from town to town

Screaming all the streets down.

She'd beat me blue

'Til me bones showed through

With a wooden spoon an' a frown.

That's a lesson sorely learnt,

I got me fingers burnt.

Don't sit on a lap

Or you'll lose your bap

To a ma who's head is turned.
