Young Paddy worked as a builder's lad,
He was a bit simple ..... and everyone knew;
His boss sent him down to the yard one day
To buy some "four be two".
The salesman gave a wink and a nudge
As young Paddy entered the store;
"We're clean out of "four be two"," he said,
"All we've got's some "two be four"."
"Well, the boss said he wanted "four be two",
Said Paddy, " I'd better go back and see."
An hour later the lad returned,
"I'll have that "two be four"," said he.
"Well how long would you be wanting it?"
Said the salesman, poised with saw;
"Aw struth!" said Paddy,"I dunno."
..........So he headed off once more.
Eventually the lad returned,
Across his face he wore a smile.
"Well the boss said he's building a house with it,
So I guess he'll want it for quite a while.
