1:41Ally Bally, Ally Bally Bee Sittin' on your mammy's knee Greetin' for a wee penny To buy some Coulter's candy Ally Bally's gettin' mighty thin A bag of bones covered over with skin But soon, he's gettin' a real double chin From sucking Coulter's candy Ally Bally, Ally Bally Bee Sittin' on your mammy's knee Greetin' for a wee penny To buy some Coulter's candy Ally Bally's got a tummy ache It isn't the tatties and it isn't the cake But what it is, for goodness sake It's too much Coulter's candy Ally Bally, Ally Bally Bee Sittin' on your mammy's knee Greetin' for a wee penny To buy some Coulter's candy Go to sleep now, my little one Seven o'clock and the playing's done But when you wake with the morning sun You'll get some Coulter's candy Ally Bally, Ally Bally Bee Sittin' on your mammy's knee Greetin' for a wee penny To buy some Coulter's candy
