All the Pats in Ballarat
It's only a country town,
but Catholics abound;
and home to an abundance of Pats,
that's our Ballarat.
There is Patrick and Pat
Padraig and Paddy,
Don't forget Patricia or Pats
Patty or Patsy,
Patricks' a drover,
stalwart and sober
And Padraig O'Brien
has the heart of a lion
But Pat likes a drink
Never stopping to think
of his loving wife Patty
whom he drives quite batty.
Nurse Pats is the queen
of ward seventeen,
Where Patricia is often seen
venting her spleen
About that old Patsy
who is quite nasty
To son little Paddy
just a wee small laddie.
So when in the 'rat
just holler out "Pat"
no matter where you are at
someone's bound to answer back.
Wild.
(someday I may write a 'Bill' story on this theme)
