When it’s time for a meal, and goes off to the nuns,

Who’re deceived in the Presbyt’ry Dog.

When he follows the priest to the bush, there is war.

He inspects the whole place at a jog,

And he puts on great airs and fine antics galore,

While he chases the sheep till we’re after his gore,

Though he may be the Presbyt’ry Dog.

’Twas last Sunday a dog in the church went ahead

With an ill-bred and loud monologue,

And the priest said some things that would shiver the dead,
