.           Regent Street Christmas.
          ‘Tis buskin I waz, with me
            Irish penny whistle and I
           were tinkin, as I looked at
             the toys in the window.

              What if me flute were
                magic and all them
              childer were to follow
                me up to Piccadilly,
                to Fossett’s Circus.

                 Sure I could get a
               free ticket for them
              all, George Lowe, the
               founder was born in
             Mallow, my home town.

               Billy Cotter’s brother,
              from Ballydaheen ran
              off with Duffy’s Circus
               and became a clown,
             I wish I’d went with him.
