Boggarty Song
Boggarty he went up the hill,
Up the hill, up the hill
Boggarty he went up the hill
At 6 o’clock in the morning

I’ll get in your teeth and make them black*,
Make them black, make them black,
I’ll get in your teeth and make them black
At 6 o’clock in the morning

Brownie she jumped out of bed,
She seized her toothbrush and she said*,
“Boggarty you will soon be dead
Shoot-Bang-Dead.”

*Additional Verses
I’ll get in your nails and make them black
She seized her nail brush and she said

I’ll get in your lungs and make you ill
She took a deep breath and she said
