Father O'Flynn - Mac's Irish Players
La
Of priests we can offer
A charmin variety
Far renownd for learnin and piety
Still I'd advance ye
Widout impropriety
Father O'Flynnas the flowr of them all
Heres a health to you
Father O'Flynn
Slainte and slainte and slainte agin
Powrfulest preacher
And tenderest teacher
And kindliest creature in ould Donegal
Don't talk of your Provost
And Fellows of Trinity
Famous forever at Greek and Latinity
Dad and the divils and
All at Divinity
Father O'Flynnd make
Hares of them all
Come I venture to give
You my word
Never the likes of his
Logic was heard
Down from mythology into thayology
Truth and conchology
If hed the call
Heres a health to you
Father O'Flynn
Slainte and slainte and slainte agin
Powrfulest preacher
And tenderest teacher
And kindliest creature in ould Donegal
And throw quite avoidin
All foolish frivolity
Still at all seasons of innocent jollity
Where was the playboy
Could claim an equality
At comicality
Father wid you
Once the Bishop looked
Grave at your jest
Till this remark set him
Off wid the rest
Is it lave gaiety all to the laity
Cannot the clergy be Irishmen too
Heres a health to you
Father O'Flynn
Slainte and slainte and slainte agin
Powrfulest preacher
And tenderest teacher
And kindliest creature in ould Donegal
