| Notes: | Top of page reads: 'You can sing it, whistle it or waltz it.' Cover illustration of 'Dora', represented as a female jailer, is an acronym for the Defence of the Realm Act, implemented in Ireland in 1919. In a tongue-in-cheek manner, Dora stands outside Mountjoy jail using welcoming gestures and highlights the conditions in the jail by pointing at posters which read: 'Feeding by the most up to date methods...pumps supplied; Hottentots receive expert attention; Irishmen who love their country always welcome.' Dora wears an apron that reads: 'Martial law, Solitary confinement and Plank beds.' Key of G major. Front cover is bordered by green and blue celtic illuminations.
