Tim Mahon talks about the words for a few Haydn compositions:

>Incidentally -- it does work with the 'Trauer'.  During the concert my two
>guests were busily mouthing "Are you the O'Reilly who owns this hotel?" at
>the opening of the minuet -- and big grins of success followed!  For some
>reason it now always reminds me of John Clees and a gnome, but I guess
>that's a cultural thing!

Oh, do you remember sweet Betsy from Pike?
