They were doing all kinds of nonsensical polkas Round the room in a whirly gig But Julia and I soon banished their nonsense And tipped them a twist of a real Irish jig Oh how the girl she really got mad and we Danced that you'd think that the ceiling would fall For I spent three weeks at Brooks Academy Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball
Six long months I spent in Dublin Six long months doing nothing at all Six long months I spent in Dublin Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball
[As she plays, she nudges the journal with her foot so she can get a properly clear look at who she's singing with. Which also brings her own grubby face into view, eyes bright green and a small smile on her face. She's clearly enjoying herself.]

Round the room in a whirly gig
But Julia and I soon banished their nonsense
And tipped them a twist of a real Irish jig
Oh how the girl she really got mad and we
Danced that you'd think that the ceiling would fall
For I spent three weeks at Brooks Academy
Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball
Six long months I spent in Dublin
Six long months doing nothing at all
Six long months I spent in Dublin
Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball
[As she plays, she nudges the journal with her foot so she can get a properly clear look at who she's singing with. Which also brings her own grubby face into view, eyes bright green and a small smile on her face. She's clearly enjoying herself.]
