《Johnny McEldoo》歌词

[00:00:00] Johnny McEldoo - Tommy Makem

[00:00:02] There was johnny mceldoo and mcgee and me

[00:00:05] And a couple of two or three went on the spree one day

[00:00:08] We had a bob or two which we knew how to blew

[00:00:11] And the beer and whiskey flew and we all felt gay

[00:00:13] We visited mccann's maclaman's humpty dan's

[00:00:15] We then went into swan's our stomachs for to pack

[00:00:18] We ordered up a feed which indeed we did need

[00:00:20] And we finished it with speed but we still felt slack

[00:00:23] Johnny mceldoo turned red white and blue

[00:00:25] As a plate of irish stew he soon put out of sight

[00:00:27] He shouted out encore with a roar for some more

[00:00:30] That he'd never felt before such a keen appetite

[00:00:32] We ordered eggs and ham bread and jam what a cram

[00:00:35] But him we couldn't ram though we tried our level best

[00:00:37] For everthing we brought cold or hot mattered not

[00:00:40] It went down him like a shot and he still stood the test

[00:00:42] He swallowed tripe and lard by the yard we got scared

[00:00:45] We thought it would go hard when the waiter brought the bill

[00:00:47] We told him to give o'er but he swore he could lower

[00:00:50] Twice as much again and more before he had his fill

[00:00:52] He nearly supped a trough full of broth says mcgragh

[00:00:55] He'll devour the tablecloth if you don't hold him in

[00:00:57] When the waiter brought the charge mceldoo felt so large

[00:01:00] He began to shout and barge and his blood went on fire

[00:01:02] He began to curse and swear tear his hair in despair

[00:01:05] To finish the affair called the shop man a liar

[00:01:07] The shop man he threw out and no doubt he did clout

[00:01:10] Mceldoo he kicked about like an old football

[00:01:12] Tattered all his clothes broke his nose I suppose

[00:01:14] He would have killed him with a few blows in no time at all

[00:01:17] Mceldoo began to howl and to growl by my soul

[00:01:19] Threw an empty bowl at the shop keepers head

[00:01:22] It struck ol' mickey flynn peeled the skin from his chin

[00:01:24] An a ruction did begin and we all fought and bled

[00:01:27] The peelers did arrive man alive four or five

[00:01:29] At us they made a dive for us all to march away

[00:01:32] We paid for all the meat that we ate stood a trait

[00:01:34] And went home to ruminate on the spree that day
