Think this is close!

The decent folk On All Souls’ Night
Light penny candles for the sweet repose
Easy fortunes for fortune tellers!
Quick abortions in dingy cellars!

Of dearly loved And soon forgot
A word in St Peter’s ear my darling Rose
La la la la, la la la la la!

Such simple faith is really all it takes
To rid the land of snakes
God speed ‘em on their way to hell!
But it could never break Kitty Ricketts’ spell!

She is handsome, she is pretty,
She is the girl from Strumpet City
Please can you tell me, who is she?
Kitty Ricketts, you’re not there
But I can touch your hair!
Kitty Ricketts, one – two – three
You’re a ghost but I don’t care!

She’s a carnal joy for night-town boys
Whose five o’clock shadow begins at midnight
Heart-warming for savage dreamers!
Heart scalding for soul redeemers!
She’s an apron-string For kings and poets
— Poets? Madmen! You should see the things they write!
La la la la, la la la la la!
Well they say that as you make your bed
So must you lie Well, you could fall in love tonight
But you’ll never walk the streets of paradise!

Grab a line boys boys!

She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the girl from Strumpet City
Oh please can you tell me, who is she?
Kitty Ricketts, you’re not there
But I can touch your hair!
Kitty Ricketts, one – two – three –
You’re a ghost but I don’t care!

Through the boulevards of Dublin, she still walks among the city lights
What a pity, it’s all joys City! But what a pity, for Ricketty Kitty!
Bad scran to all their virtues
And their Saturday night delights!
La la la la, la la la la la!
The town clock tells her last week’s time
But what the hell! She’s got all the time in the world!
And you could fall in love tonight
But you’ll never walk the streets of Paradise!
Oh-no!
Oh-no, you’ll never walk the streets of Paradise
Oh-no!
Ah but you could fall in love tonight!

[philipchevron]

What a pity - it's Altar city
For Walter Mitty
And Ricketty Kitty
