Song Transcript
(The Animal Friends playing their instruments in a chroma key clover background)

Kyle: (singing) Have you heard of Phil the fluter From the town of Ballymuck The times was going hard for him In fact the man was broke So he sent an invitation To his neighbours one and all As how he'd like their company That evening at a ball And when writing out He was careful to suggest to them That if they found a hat of his Convenient to the door The more they put in Whenever he requested them The better would the music be For battering the floor

Animal Friends (singing) With a toot on the flute And a twiddle on the fiddle-oh Hopping in the middle Like a herrin' on the griddle-oh Up, down, hands around And crossing to the wall Sure hadn't we the gaiety At Phil the Fluter's ball

(instrumental break)

Owen (singing) There was Mister Denis Doherty Who kept a running dog There was little crooked Paddy From the Tiraloughett bog There was boys from every barony And girls from every art And the beautiful Miss Bradys' In their private ass and cart Along with them Came bouncing Mrs Cafferty Little Mickey Mulligan Was also to the fore Rose, Suzanne and Margaret O'Rafferty The flower of Ard Na Gullion And the pride of Petravore

Animal Friends (singing) With a toot on the flute And a twiddle on the fiddle-oh Hopping in the middle Like a herrin' on the griddle-oh Up, down, hands around And crossing to the wall Sure hadn't we the gaiety At Phil the Fluter's ball

Kyle (singing) First little Mickey Mulligan Got up to show them how And then the widow Cafferty Steps out and takes her bow I'll dance you off your legs, says she As sure as you were born If you'll only make the piper play "The Hare was in the Corn" So Phil plays up To the best of his ability The ladies and the gentlemen Begin to do their share Faith, then Mick It's you that has agility Begob an' Mrs Cafferty You're leppin' like a hare

Animal Friends (singing) With a toot on the flute And a twiddle on the fiddle-oh Hopping in the middle Like a herrin' on the griddle-oh Up, down, hands around And crossing to the wall Sure hadn't we the gaiety At Phil the Fluter's ball

(instrumental break)

Allison (singing) Then Phil the fluter tipped a wink To little crooked Pat I think it's nearly time, says he For passing round the hat So Paddy passed the caipín round And looking very cute Said, you have to pay the piper When he tootles on the flute

Owen (singing) Then all joined in With the greatest joviality Coverin' the buckle And the shuffle and the cut

Kyle (singing) Jigs were danced Of the very finest quality But the widow bate the company At handlin' the foot

Animal Friends (singing) With a toot on the flute And a twiddle on the fiddle-oh Hopping in the middle Like a herrin' on the griddle-oh Up, down, hands around And crossing to the wall Sure hadn't we the gaiety At Phil the Fluter's ball Sure hadn't we the gaiety At Phil the Fluter's ball

Allison (singing sadly) Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack

Kyle (singing happily) And all of the five little ducks came back!
