tem 3: “Starkle”
At this link: Starkle
The third song I present was found through doing research through Google. It is called “Starkle.” It has many tongue twisters in the lyrics. It is typically sung at parties and I assume that it is used as a measurement to see how drunk someone is. If they can sing it then they are not too drunk but if they can’t then they are pretty drunk. It is said to be very popular with the Irish.
Text:
Starkle starkle little twink
Who the hell you are I think
I’m not under what you call
The affluence of incahol
I’m just a little slort of sheep
I’m not drunk like tinkle peep
I don’t know who is me yet
But the drunker I stand here
The longer I get
Just give me one more drink
To fill me cup
‘cuz I got all day sober
To Sunday up.
