A Knicker’s Shop


Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh

“Johnny”
“Ya” 
“Did ye see Maggie Murphy lately?”

Chorus

I met sweet Maggie Murphy down at the parish shop.
She says, ye know now Johnny, we should start a knickers shop.
We’d sell all kinds of frilly things, bras of great selection.
There’s a new bra out called a sheep dog bra, points them all in the one direction.

“An’ how is business Johnny?”
“You should see when Joe Dolan comes ta town.”
“Why what happens when Joe comes ta town?”

Ah the girls buy loads of knickerses a going to ta show.
An’ when he starts ta singing, ah sure the throws them up at Joe.
Then Ben now that Joes brother, collects them all up now ye see.
An’ the next day at the knickers shop, he sells ’em back ta me.

“Ah your coding”
“I’m not, its the truth!”

Chorus

I met sweet Maggie Murphy, down at the parish shop.
She says ye know now Johnny, we should start a knickers shop.
We’d sell all kinds of frilly things, bras of great selection.
There’s a new bra out called a sheep dog bra, points them all in the one direction.

Ah TD he came in one day, he was so nice an’ pleasant.
He says, it’s for me girlfriend, I want a lovely present.
He bought a frilly knickers, not as big now as a hanky.
Spending all his money on a bit a hanky pinky.

Chorus

I met sweet Maggie Murphy, down at the parish shop.
She says ye know now Johnny, we should start a knickers shop.
We’d sell all kinds of frilly things, bras of great selection.
There’s a new bra out called a sheep dog bra, points them all in the one direction.

“Is there any other kind a bras, Johnny?”
“Well theres a new bra out called the JCB bra, its makes mountains out a mole hills”

Chorus

I met sweet Maggie Murphy, down at the parish shop.
She says ye know now Johnny, we should start a knickers shop.
We’d sell all kinds of frilly things, bras of great selection.
There’s a new bra out called a sheep dog bra, points them all in the one direction.

There’s a new bra out called a sheep dog bra, points them all in the one direction.
An’ there’s one for everyone in the audience….
An’ that’s the truth!
