Secret Plans An’ Pranks
[Verse] In a dim-lit pub in county Clare They whispered low A mischievous affair To London town By night they'd creep While the masters of the realm did sleep [Verse 2] With sacks of dung through Westminster Hall A parliament warm Oh how they’d enthrall In teacups served by servants brave A scoundrel's laugh An English wave [Chorus] Hey Ho And off we go To play our tricks The seeds we sow When London wakes to day’s first light The devil’s work shall bring them fright [Verse 3] Cows and sheep on Downing's lane A ruckus loud A leader’s bane To twist and turn a horse’s tail Such tales of woe In ink so pale [Bridge] In Buckingham Where royals sleep A mouse to dance A monarch’s leap The bedposts tied with silken thread While dreams take wing Their peace be dead [Verse 4] A thousand bees in a cabinet’s hum The wax and wings to chaos succumb Noble halls shall feel their sting While we In shadows Laugh and sing
