The nonsense chorus lyrics of 'Shule, shule, shule-a-roo', are very
loosely phonetically based on a traditional Irish ballard called
' Siúil a rúin '(or sometimes... Siúil a rún)
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin Go, go, go, my love
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Go quietly and go peacefully
Siúil go doras agus ealaigh liom Go to the door and fly with me
Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
