|f_annotation='''PADDY IN A PUCKER.''' English, Song Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Paddy in a Pucker" was a comic stage-Irish song by "Mr. Sanderson", printed in English songwriter Charles Dibdin Jr.'s (1745-1814) '''Mirth and metre: consisting of poems, serious, humourous, and satirical songs, etc.''' (1807). The first stanza goes:
<blockquote>
'' 'Twas business requir'd I'd from Dublin be straying,''<br>
''I bargain'd the captain to sail pretty quick;''<br>
''But just at the moment the anchor was weighing,''<br>
''A spalpeen, he wanted to play me a trick.''<br>
''Says he, "Paddy, go down stairs, and fetch me some beer now,"''<br>
''Says I, "by my soul, you're monstraciously kind,
''Then you'll sail away, and I'll look mighty queer now, ''<br>
''When I come up and see myself left all behind."''<br>
''Wid my palliluh! smallilah! whilliluh! pilliluh!''<br>
''Arrah, whack! boderation! and langolee.''<br>
