Murder Squash Song (super-rough, minimal video)

So, naturally, I came up with my own version of the song, using the details of:
It begins with Ms Stiefvater's words (more or less).
It's a viral song, thus it has simple, somewhat stupid, but easily memorizable lyrics.
Ronan, who was fully immersed in irish songs, likes it a lot, and at one point Squash-rolls people while pretending he's about to sing/hum something Irish.
Based on those initial lyrics and the title, there's something about murder in it, and it's immensely repetitive.  And probably a counting song.

So here's my version.  Released CC-Attrib -- feel free to mashup, reuse, parody, although I'd rather you kept my name on it somewhere.

The video is more or less non-existent, just put so it can go to Youtube.

The tune's probably a reel.
The audio is quite rough; I just uploaded the first marginally listenable version I was able to record, and there are -plenty- of errors.   The only edit was my removing some dead space.

Here are the lyrics (some of which, naturally, I mangle in the singing of them):

Squash One, Squash two, Squash three and on-and-
Squash Four Squash five, Squash 6 and on-and-
Squash 7,8,9 Squash 10 and on-and-on,
On with the squash we go,

 You may murder squash, murder squash, murder squash,
 You may murder squash, murder squash, murder squash,
 You may murder squash, murder squash, murder squash,
 But the roots are still below,

Squash 11,12,13,14 on-and-
Squash 15,16 squash go on-and-
Squash 17,18,19, on-and-on,
Squash juice starts to flow,

 You may juice the squash, juice th squash, juice the squash,
 You may juice the squash, juice the squash, juice the squash,
 You may juice the squash, juice the squash, juice the squash,
 But don't ever do it slow,

Squash 20, 21, 22, on-and-
Squash 23, 24, 25, on-and-
Squash 26, 27,  28, on-and-on,
How many squash to go?

 You may carry squash, carry squash, carry squash,
 You may carry squash, carry squash, carry squash,
 You may carry squash, carry squash, carry squash,
 But don't pack them in cargo,

Squash 29, 30, 40, on-and-
Squash 41, 42, 43, on-and-
Squash 44, 45, 46, on-and-on,
Shoot the squash with a bow,

 (fiddle break)

 (faster)
 You may juice the squash, juice the squash, juice the squash,
 You may juice the squash, juice the squash, juice the squash,
 You may juice the squash, juice the squash, juice the squash,
 Don't freeze them into snow,
 
 (fastest)
 You may carry squash, carry squash, carry squash,
 You may carry squash, carry squash, carry squash,
 You may carry squash, carry squash, carry squash,
 Just hope they never grow,
 
 (normal)
 You may murder squash, murder squash, murder squash,
 You may murder squash, murder squash, murder squash,
 You may murder squash, murder squash, murder squash,
 And that's all that I know. (fin)
