Molly Malone, the Cat’s Perspective/Planxty Hewlett lyrics
by Marc Gunn
In Dublin’s fair city, when I was a kitty
I first cast my gaze on sweet Molly Malone
I was but a kitten, but I was quiet smitten
With her c*ckles and mussels
Alive alive-o
Alive alive-o, alive alive-o
Sparing c*ckles and mussels
Alive alive-o
She was a fish monger
Feeding cats who did wander
Just like her father and mother before
And they all wheeled their barrows
Feeding cats fat and narrow
Sharing c*ckles and mussels
Alive alive-o
She died of a fever, nine lives couldn’t save her
The cats we did mourn for sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow
Feeding cats fat and narrow
Sharing c*ckles and mussels
Alive alive-o
