I Wish They'd Do It Now             

	I was born in sweet Kilarney
	one day when I was young
	I guess that is the reason
	I've a Blarney on me tongue
	I was the picture of me father
	the doctor did allow
	the girls all ran to kiss me then
	I wish they'd do it now

Chorus:
	Oh, I wish they'd do it now
	oh, I wish they'd do it now
	(the girls all ran to kiss me then)
	I wish they'd do it now

	Then as I grew older
	the girls would laugh with glee
	they'd press me to their bosom
	and they'd nurse me on their knee
	they'd rock me in the cradle 
	and if I made a row
	they'd take me in to sleep with them
	I wish they'd do it now

Chorus: 

	At twelve years old , a finer boy
	I'm sure was never seen
	for the girls would take me out to play
	upon the meadow green
	they'd pick me all the buttercups
	to deck my boyish brow
	they'd roll me out upon the grass
	I wish they'd do it now
 
Chorus:

	The girls would take me out to bathe
	when the weather it was mild
	there we'd roll and splash about
	like little shrimp so wild
	they'd splash the water till it shone 
	like pearls upon my brow
	they'd dry me nice all over 
	I wish they'd do it now

Chorus:

	Me father sent me off to school
	to learn my A B C
	the little girls in my class 
	they would not let me be
	they'd pinch me in me breaches
	that's not fair you'll allow
	the master used to whack me then
	I wish he'd do it now

Chorus:

	It's very lonesome for a boy
	to lead the single life
	tonight I've made up my mind
	to find myself a wife
	my fortune is three thumping pigs
	likewise a big old sow
	there'll be lots of love and bacon
	for the girl who'll have me now
 
Chorus:
	For the girl who'll have me now
	for the girl who'll have me now
	there'll be lots of love and bacon
	for the girl who'll have me now
