[00:00:02] COORTIN' IN THE KITCHEN

[00:00:02] Come single belle and beau to me now pay attention

[00:00:07] And love I'll plainly show is the divil's own invention

[00:00:10] For once I fell in love with a damsel most bewitchin'

[00:00:14] Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen

[00:00:18] Cho：

[00:00:18] To my toora loora la my toora loora laddy

[00:00:22] Ri toora loora la ri toora loora laddy

[00:00:26] At the age of seventeen I was 'prenticed to a grocer

[00:00:30] Not far from Stephen's Green where Miss Bell for tea would go sir

[00:00:33] Her manners were so free she set me heart a twitchin'

[00:00:38] She invited me to tea down in Captain Kelly's kitchen

[00:00:49] Next Sunday bein' the day we were to have the flare up

[00:00:53] I dressed myself quite gay an' I frizzed and oiled my hair up

[00:00:57] The Captain had no wife he had gone out a fishin'

[00:01:01] So we kicked up high life below stairs in the kitchen

[00:01:13] Just as the clock struck six we sat down to the table

[00:01:17] She served me tea and cakes I ate while I was able

[00:01:20] I ate cakes drank punch and tea till my side had got a stitch in

[00:01:24] And the hours flew quick away while coortin' in the kitchen

[00:01:36] With my arms around her waist I kissed she hinted marriage

[00:01:40] To the door in dreadful haste came Captain Kelly's carriage

[00:01:44] Her looks told me full well that moment she was wishin'

[00:01:48] That I'd get out to Hell or somewhere far from the kitchen

[00:01:59] She flew up off my knees full seven feet or higher

[00:02:03] And over heads and heels threw me slap into the fire

[00:02:07] My new Repealers coat that I'd bought from Mrs Stichen

[00:02:11] With a thirty shilling note went to blazes in the kitchen

[00:02:19] I grieved to see my duds all besmeared with smoke and ashes

[00:02:26] When a tub of dirty suds right in my face she dashes

[00:02:30] As I lay on the floor still the water she kept pitchin'

[00:02:33] Till the footman broke the door and marched into the kitchen

[00:02:45] When the Captain came downstairs and seen my situation

[00:02:49] In spite of all my prayers I was marched off to the station

[00:02:53] For me they'd take no bail tho' to get home I was itchin'

[00:02:57] And I had to tell the tale of how I got in the kitchen

[00:03:02] I said she did invite me but she gave a flat denial

[00:03:12] For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial

[00:03:16] She swore I robbed the house in spite of all her screechin'

[00:03:20] And I got six months hard for my coortin' in the kitchen
