"Oh Mr harris by the way, did I ever forget to tell you about the time I was a poacher"
"You, a poacher"
"Yeah, oh surely, even the eggs I had for breakfast this mornin were poached"
"Weren't you worried about being caught by the Wardens and the Game Keepers and that sort of fellow"
"Oh no, sure, I've been doing it for so long I know all the tricks of the trade"

With one eye up and one eye down
And me nostrils twitching all around
Both ears close against the ground
I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery
Where
I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery

Well I'll have a thing or two to say about that
There's a law against poaching and you know it for a fact
There'll be Game Keepers posted just in case you double back
On your track to, where was that again?
Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery
The very place

On the track, back to Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery

And now Mr Harris would you ever be a sport
Would you ever turn a blind eye to rabbits that I caught
There's all them years of training in the fog and when it's raining
And the patience and the learning
Al the running, jumping, turning

Escaping through the brush
Through the mud and through the flush
That's an awful lot of skills to learn for nothing

With one eye up and one eye down
And me nostrils twitching all around
Both ears close against the ground
I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery

With one eye up and one eye down
And me nostrils twitching all around
Both ears close against the ground
I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery

I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery
I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery

"Hey just a miniute you're slowly disappearing, whats going on"
"Oh yeah I'm doing one of those slow fades like they do on the pop records"
"Oh all right well I join you"

I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery
I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery
I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery
Goodbye now
I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery
See you
I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery
I'm the poacher of Bally-Slap-A-Dash-Muckery.....
