Michael Murphy alias Mick Punk and Con Dennehy the lovable Snowball
They brought laughter to their Duhallow Town in the long ago
Going back the years as i remember time then had become their foe
Mick Punk was the local chimney sweep he earned his living in the hard and sooty way
And working for the Cork County Council Snowball earned his living pay
They often gave rise to laughter one of the greatest gifts of all
But sadly the names of their sort never appear on a memorial wall
Perhaps the greatest characters of the old Duhallow Town
They helped to raise the spirits of many who were down
They carried laughter in them and shared it around
And laughter creates laughter it is such a joyful sound
Millstreet the poorer for their passing in truth one can say
And only those who knew of them remember them today.
