Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh
Spoken….. (Richie) “Well Johnny are you going to sing a little song?”
(Johnny) “I’m going to sing about me little morris minor”
(Richie) “An’ I’ll sing a song about me wife”
(Johnny) “Right you start an’ I’ll join in”
Chorus
(Richie) Oh me wife she is five foot three, a blond there is no finer.
(Johnny) I bought her in nineteen fifty-nine, she’s a little a morris minor.
(Richie) I met her at a dance one night below in Enniscorthy,
(Johnny) I traded in a Commer van it was a nineteen forty.
(Richie) Well we sang and danced all night long, sure we could not be parted.
(Johnny) I had her for about an hour, before I got her started.
(Richie) I asked her if I could leave her home, she said her name was June.
(Johnny) I never liked the colour, she was a dirty red maroon.
Chorus
(Richie) Well I walked her home held her tight, we done things ya could not mention.
(Johnny) But I tell ya sure and certain boys, she had a great suspension.
(Richie) Well we courted strong for six long months, before I did propose.
(Johnny) It was then she got all steamed up and burst her water hose.
Chorus
(Richie) On a day in June we were wed, our hearts the did entwine,
(Johnny) But most of her upholstery was tied up would baling twine.
(Richie) She looked so well on our honeymoon in her night attire,
(Johnny) She had lovely cromey head lights, but a very bad spare tyre.
Chorus
(Richie) Well now we have five children the youngest he is Pat,
(Johnny) There’s a fair auld spark left in her though sometimes the batteries flat.
(Richie) Now Junes hair is turning grey but there is no finer,
(Johnny) And I wouldn’t trade her for the world me little morris minor.
Chorus
(Richie) Oh me wife she is five foot three a blond there is no finer,
(Johnny) I bought her in nineteen fifty-nine she’s a little a morris minor.
(Richie) I met her at a dance one night below in Enniscorthy,
(Johnny) I traded in a Commer van it was a nineteen forty.
(Richie) Oh her name is June,
(Johnny) She’s maroon she’s me little morris minor.
(Johnny) And I wouldn’t trade her for the world, me little morris minor.
(Johnny) And I wouldn’t trade her for the world, me little morris minor.
