By Nelson G
 Clarrie's ill-fated flower arrangement inspired this version of the Irish traditional song Whiskey in the Jar. The original was brought to a wider audience in the 1970s by . You can find more parodies on the Fantasy Archers topic of .
As I was mulling over the WI event
I thought of me old dad, his flowers, how much he meant
I first procured some roses and then procured some photos
I said I'll enter and deliver, I'll win it for old Jethro
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Card for my daddy-o
Card for my daddy-o
There's roses in the bowl-o
I took all of my flowers and they were a pretty sight
I took that fine old fruit bowl, having asked Neil if I might
I swore that I'd keep it safe from all falls and drops
And the devil take that Bert with his kale and carrot tops
(chorus)
Being happy and cheery, most original arranger
Taking that glass bowl with me and I never knew the danger
I went off to find Susan, that's where the tale comes unglued
Eddie's gone to the car boot, now its been sold to some dude
(chorus)
Now some men like the telly and some men like the drinking
And some men like to hear the Thin Lizzy a-roaring
Chris he likes the shopping specially in Borchester fair
If you look in the cupboard I think you'll find that it's there
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Card for my daddy-o
Card for my daddy-o
There's roses in the bowl-o
More parodies - from Agatha Christie to Damon Runyon
