When I was just a little lad I used to go to school
I’d sit down there on the seat feeling like a fool
The teacher taught us everything, everything we know
She had a great big lump of a stick it was bent into a bow
She’d go Aon focal dha Focal tri focal eile
and I not knowing no focal at all
She’d go Aon focal dha Focal tri focal eile
and I not knowing no focal at all
She taught us how to say all our ABC’s
She taught us how to make little men out of plasticine
She taught us how to say our prayers
She told us right from wrong
The only thing about it we didn’t go to school too long
She’d go Aon focal dha Focal tri focal eile
and I not knowing no focal at all
She’d go Aon focal dha Focal tri focal eile
and I not knowing no focal at all
She taught about the history the Battle of the Boyne
She taught us how to play a game with chestnuts on a twine
She says open up that catechism learn off that information
If you don’t get it in to your big thick head
You won’t get your confirmation.
She’d go Aon focal dha Focal tri focal eile
and I not knowing no focal at all
She’d go Aon focal dha Focal tri focal eile
and I not knowing no focal at all
And that’s the truth I’m telling you
Aon focal dha Focal tri focal eile
And I not knowing no focal at all
And he’s not knowing no focal at all.
