Help Yourself.
Love is like candy on a shelf, You want to taste, then help yourself. The sweetest things are there for you Help yourself take a few, That’s what I want you to do. We’re always told repeatedly, The very best in life is free, And if you want to prove it’s true, Baby, I’m telling you, This is what you should do. Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms, Just say the word and they’re yours. Just help yourself to the love in my heart, Your smile has opened up the door. The greatest wealth that exists in the world, Could never buy what I can give. Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms, And then let’s really start to live. Alright, (hahahaha, yeah). My heart has love enough for two, More than enough for me and you. I’m rich with love, a millionaire, I’ve so much, it’s unfair, Why don’t you take a share. Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms, Just say the word and they’re yours. Just help yourself to the love in my heart, Your smile has opened up the door. The greatest wealth that exists in the world, Could never buy what I can give. So help yourself to my lips, to my arms, And then let’s really start to live. Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms, Just say the word and they’re yours. Just help yourself to the love in my heart.

I Would Like To See You Again.
I was sittin’ here thinkin’ about some old times, Some old times, some old friends, And suddenly it came across my mind, I would like to see you again. Remember how we used to walk and talk, Walk and talk, holdin’ hands, We said we loved each other I recall, We made a lot of future plans. But the years have come and gone, And a whole lot has happened since then, But tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind, And I would like to see you again. It’s funny how a feeling will come back, It’ll come on back, make you blue, Cause I just saw a picture in my mind, Bout a time, of me and you. But the years have come and gone, And a whole lot has happened since then, And tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind, And I would like to see you again. Yes the years have come and gone, And a whole lot has happened since then, But tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind, And I would like to see you again.
The under twelve camogie girls, Little and lithe and lovely, Under warrior helmets, visors and all, Screamed at the winter sky, In the field where leather meets ash. Pull and crack, What craic! Little Josie, hurley high, screams to heaven, At Thurles Sarsfields’ Bill, Who had showed them how to bend and strike, And first time pull for goal. Like Bill himself in glorious days, On summer sun-soaked hurling fields, Times distant and delightful to recall, “Bill, Bill,” she shouts, time and time once more, “Oh,Bill I want to play with her”. A plea to waiting mums familiar, When all those mums were girls, When Bill and I were boys.

The traditions and superstitions of ‘Samhain’ will be on display during the October Bank Holiday weekend with Halloween games, ghostly characters, witchcraft, a Bed of Nails, tarot reading, street entertainment, and Haunted Train rides past ghosts, grim reapers, and zombies that will appear from the shadows throughout the 26-acre folk park.
Ms Marie Brennan, (Events Manager at Bunratty Castle and Folk Park), commented, “Our Halloween event is hugely popular with people from across the Mid-West Region and beyond. We are very excited about welcoming everyone back to Bunratty, where history meets the haunted.” “It is an eerie time of year, and we have pulled out all the stops to create an unforgettable experience full of fun, frights and festivity for the whole family,” added Ms. Brennan.
