about

Oxen of the Sun. Loosely based on 'Whisky In The Jar'

lyrics

Oh what a place to meet them all
In a maternity hospital
Drunken medical students
Splaying their intelligence

Stephen, Bloom, Buck Mulligan
And the oxen of the sun

Bloom, the only father there
Remembers the death of his heir
He hears that Milly and Bannon
Might just be an item

Oh what a disgraceful scrum
Are the oxen of the sun

On and on go the oxen
In Latin and Anglo-Saxon
Malory, Defoe and Sterne
Dickens, Carlyle and Bunyan

Abortion and contraception
Gist for the oxen of the sun

Till at last Mina Purefoy
Gives birth to a baby boy
And so the gang head out in Dub
lin
...continued the next pub

Oh what a disgraceful scrum
Are the oxen of the sun
