This man's mother (a Lithuanian) had a large book which had belonged to the family for generations. Originally, he first missionaries had made books for the new Christian people. These books contained many hymns and songs, through which the missionaries taught the central mysteries of the Christian faith. Before going to bed, the mother of the family would always sing the song of the Seven Sorrows and the Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

'Twas a Day in Mid-September
'Twas a day in mid-September
As well as I remember
I was walking down the street with manly pride
When my feet began to flutter
And I slipped into the gutter
And a pig walked up and lay down by my side.
As I lay there in the gutter
My heart began to flutter
As a lady passing by was heard to say,
"You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses."
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

The Werewolf's Hole
I stuck my head in a werewolf's hole,
And a werewolf set upon my soul.
Take it out, take it out, remove it.
I wouldn't take it out so the werewolf said,
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you were dead,
Take it out, take it out." Chop--
I removed it without an ear.

I've been working with a sliderule
All the livelong day.
I've been working with a sliderule
Just to keep the draftboard away.
Don't you smell the beer a'brewing.
Can't wait to get to a bar.
Don't you hear the bartender shouting
Dinah, come in here.
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow that Engineer.
Dinah, won't you blow

Someone's in the bedroom with Dinah.
He must be an Engineer.

Coulters Candy (Irish + Scottish)
Chorus:
Ally Bally, Ally Bally Me,
Sitting on your Mommy's knee
Waiting for your wee penny
To buy some Coulters Candy
Verse 1:
Hurry Huey's looking very thin.
A wee pile of bones covered over with skin.
Soon he'll be getting a wee double chin.
From suckin' Coulter's Candy.
Chorus
Verse 2:
There's no money for the poor wee soul.
Your daddy's signing on the dole.
But a penny's hidden in the sugar bowl.
To buy some Coulter's Candy.
Chorus
Verse 3:
Come, wee Huey, me bonnie wee man,
Sleep so sound when your playing's done,
When you rise with the morning sun,
You'll get some Coulter's Candy.
