Don't know if there are words (particularly ones written at the same time as the tune), but I worked one summer with an actor who had had to master the dance, and an impressive thing it was, involving right-arm-across stomach, left-arm-across-small-of-back, then reversing, and then shading-eye-with either-hand and peering off to the sides, while sort of laterally hopping. I was consumed with envy. The whole thing would probably become insanely complicated with a penny whistle involved. A person might hurt himself.
