And why shouldnt I get my hands on it, if I could?
It was a memorable day in
the halls of learning. Go get the bottle and onesmall glass, or hell never stop
nagging me.
And if there was an offer, Jims refused it, and that ends it.
Before Im through withyou, youll think youre the King of England at an Irish
wake! And how could we guard against it,if there was? Youll ruin my reputation,

In short, I refer toyour good neighbor, T.

All Im saying is, there may be achance in it to better
yourself.
Ill bedrunk at the Inn, so how could I prevent it?
Before Im through
withyou, youll think youre the King of England at an Irish wake! If cows could
eat themthis place would make a grand dairy farm.
Ill paste your ugly mug on
the front page ofevery newspaper as a pig-murdering tyrant! And why shouldnt I
get my hands on it, if I could?
He might forget a promise as easy when hes

And if there was an offer, Jims refused it, and that ends

Harder. And they exaggerate their Irish brogues to confuse an enemy
stillfurther. Sure, youre twoof a kind, both great disgraces. Be God, youll
have to give that damned cat of yours a spanking forbringing it to our
doorstep.
