Some Friends
and I in a public house
Was playin' dominoes one night
When into the pub a fireman ran
His face all a chalky white.
"What's up," says Brown, "have you seen a ghost,
"Or have you seen your Aunt Mariah?"
"Me Aunt Mariah be buggered!" says he,
"The bleedin' pub's on fire!" Chorus
And there was Brown upside down
Moppin' up the whiskey on the floor.
"Booze, booze!" The firemen cried
As they came knockin' on the door (clap, clap)
Oh, don't let 'em in till its all drunk up
And somebody shouted MacIntyre! ("MacIntyre!)
And we all got blue-blind paralytic drunk
When the Old Dun Cow caught fire. "Oh, well," says
Brown, "what a bit of luck
"Everybody follow me,
"And its down to the cellar,
"If the fire's not there,
"Then we'll have a grand old spree!"
So we went on down after good old Brown
The booze we could not miss
And we hadn't been there ten minutes or more
Till we were quite like this . . . (Chorus) Then [Insert
Victim's Name Here] walked over
to the port wine tub
And gave it just a few hard knocks (clap, clap)
Started takin' off his pantaloons
Likewise his shoes and socks.
"Hold on," says Brown, "That ain't allowed
"Ya cannot do that thing here.
"Don't go washin' trousers in the port wine tub
"When we got Guinness beer!" (Chorus) |
