Hippity Hop 1919

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 07 Mar 2003

Pat McCann an Irishman,
a Dublin buckaroo,
he bought himself an aeroplane
to cross the ocean blue,
one day he flew into a rage
and landed with a bang,
while in a daze for seven days,
the doctor said he sang:

"Oh! It's hippity hop I'll never stop
'till I land, over in Ireland,
over the sea:
I'll be tickled to death
to get a breath of my land,
and if I should drop I wouldn't get sore,
I've taken a drop or two before;
I'd fly all over the sky,
to meet my Molly O,
just to bid my darlin'
top of the morning,
Oh! it's hippity hop,
I'll never stop
'till I land over in Ireland,
over the sea."

"Oh! It's hippity hop I'll never stop
'till I land, over in Ireland,
over the sea:
I'll be tickled to death
to get a breath of my land,
and if I should drop I wouldn't get sore,
I've taken a drop or two before;
I'd fly all over the sky,
to meet my Molly O,
just to bid my darlin'
top of the morning,
Oh! it's hippity hop,
I'll never stop
'till I land over in Ireland,
over the sea."

Pat one day just flew away,
the landlord made him fly,
he said: "Your rent is going up,"
and Pat said: "So am I."
He used a bottle for a throttle,
he was flying high,
he hit a cloud and very loud,
the angels heard him say:

"Oh! It's hippity hop I'll never stop
'till I land, over in Ireland,
over the sea:
I'll be tickled to death
to get a breath of my land,
and if I should drop I wouldn't get sore,
I've taken a drop or two before;
I'd fly all over the sky,
to meet my Molly O,
just to bid my darlin'
top of the morning,
Oh! it's hippity hop,
I'll never stop
'till I land over in Ireland,
over the sea."

"Oh! It's hippity hop I'll never stop
'till I land, over in Ireland,
over the sea:
I'll be tickled to death
to get a breath of my land,
and if I should drop I wouldn't get sore,
I've taken a drop or two before;
I'd fly all over the sky,
to meet my Molly O,
just to bid my darlin'
top of the morning,
Oh! it's hippity hop,
I'll never stop
'till I land over in Ireland,
over the sea."
