 It soon was releas'd by the mighty shocks,

And the Cork Leg kick'd it into the docks!

Ri too ral, &c.

They travell’d by land, by sea, and by air,

Till they happen'd to pass through a country fair,

How it made the bumpkins gape and stare,

To see the mad pranks they play'd while there!

Ri too ral, &c.

The Arm smash'd every thing left and right,

Shows, toys, and booths demolish'd quite;

The Leg kept running about in the fright,

And kick'd every thing it came near out of sight!

Ri too ral, &c.

Away they went with a bound and a hop,

Their mad career nought seem'd to stop,

Till they both tumbled into a carpenter's shop,

Who both into a strong box did pop.

Ri too ral, &c.

To bury them off they set with a grin,

You'd have thought they'd Bartlemey fair within;

For the Arm and the Leg kick'd up such a din,

'Twas a difficult matter to keep them in.

Ri to ral, &c.

At length the bearers had finish'd their route,

When crash went the lid and the arm flew out,

Down went the clerk, who for help did shout,

While the Cork Leg kick'd the sexton about.

Ri too ral, &c.
