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
