Comical Genius
O a comical genius was thinking one day How he'd
jack up his job and receive handy pay He did not like begging and work was too hard So he got a bright notion to join
up the guard Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
Well he went up to Dublin, to the depot went in Got
a new suit of blue as bright as new pins They drilt him, they drilt him, they drilt him so hard The old sergeant proclaimed
him a full fledged guard Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
He was stationed somewhere near the town
of Athy On the roads of the district he kept a close eye The girls they admired him as all brassers do Fell in love
with the guard and his new suit of blue Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
Well the girls they would
wink and they'd nod as he passed O but this itchy guard had his eye on one lass And this little colleen, she being a
die-hard, She made it quite clear that she wanted no guard Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
Well
one time while on duty on a cold winter's night Sure he caught her out cycling without any light Where's your light,
miss? says he; for an answer says she, It's next to me liver, where you'll never be Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum
dum day
