COVER’D WITH CRAP

When I was a sailor, I wore a fine cap
And all the young maidens, they sat in me lap
But then they’d jump up, and they’d leave with a slap
`Cause me pants and me undies were covered with crap.

Cover’d with crap
Cover’d with crap
Oh, bring me a dish towel I’m cover’d with crap

I went to the doctor, he gave me a salve
But that only worsened the ailment I have
Me bowels keep churning all night and all day
To drive all the people of Dublin away

“Away!,” they would say
Their arms they would flap
From the stink and the stench of me cover’d with crap

Cover’d with crap
Cover’d with crap
I canna wear white, `cause I’m cover’d with crap

I called up the daughter of old Mrs. Klein
And over the phone, well, she liked me just fine
I hoped that I’d soon get a taste of vagin’
But, alas, first I had to take her out to dine

We entered the restaurant without a mishap
And greeted the maîtr d’ – quite a nice chap
But soon he said, “You there, you’ll not eat a scrap;
You’ll get us closed down, `cause you’re covered with crap!”

Cover’d with crap
Cover’d with crap
Each smear brings a tear when you’re cover’d with crap.

So now I’m an old man
My life has grown thin
I’ve no time for sailin’ or sportin’ or sin
I wait for me heavenly rest to begin
And hope that St. Peter will let this fool in

But I know too well hope is only a trap
And I’m hearing those pearly gates close with a snap
`Cause who wants an angel with poop in his lap,
Brown wings, and a halo all covered with crap?

Cover’d with crap
Cover’d with crap
Eternity beckons all cover’d with crap.

SEAMUS THE URINE MAN

(sung a cappella)

Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man

There’s a shop in Dublin town
You should stop and look around
You’ll find candy, toys, and smokes
And a gentle Irish bloke

Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man

Though he is a fine old soul
His bladder, he cannot control
So lift your nose and sniff the air
You’ll smell something mighty queer . . .

Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man

When old Seamus takes a whiz
He will whiz, wherever he is!

Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man

Seamus is a merry fellow
Splashing in his pool of yellow.
Never does he take a break
He’ll make and make and make and make and make and make

Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man

He’s guaranteed to amuse
Stand too close, he’ll soak your shoes!
Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man

When ol’ Seamus eats an egg
Yolk starts running down his leg
He don’t care for fame or money
Long as he’s all warm and runny
They call him “yellow fellow” (quite a stink!)

Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man

Best to back away a little
Else you’ll get a spray of piddle
He gets wetter than the Navy
Shooting out his penis gravy
(are you enjoying your meal?)

Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man

Every night he prays to Jesus
To renew his enuresis
He lies down to rest his head
And wakes up in a waterbed

Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man
Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man.
Seamus the Urine Man, the Urine Urine Man.

(Fill`er up!)
