《Johnny McEldoo》歌词

[00:00:00] Johnny McEldoo - The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem

[00:00:02] There was Johnny McEldoo and McGee and me

[00:00:05] And a couple or two or three

[00:00:06] Went on a spree one day

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

[00:00:10] And the beer and whiskey flew and we all felt gay

[00:00:13] We visited McCann's McLemann's Humpty Dan's

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

[00:00:18] We ordered out 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 as blue as a Jew

[00:00:25] And a plate of Irish stew he soon put out of sight

[00:00:28] He shouted out Encore with a roar for some more

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

[00:00:32] He 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

[00:00:38] For everything we brought cold or hot mattered not

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

[00:00:43] He swallowed tripe and lard by the yard

[00:00:44] We got scared

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

[00:00:48] We told him to give o'er but he swore he could lo'er

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

[00:00:53] He nearly sucked a trough full of broth says McGrath

[00:00:55] He'll devour the table cloth 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 scowl 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] And to finish the affair called the shopman a liar

[00:01:07] The shopman he drew out and no doubt he did clout

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

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

[00:01:15] He'd 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] He threw an empty bowl at the shopkeeper's head

[00:01:22] It struck by Mickey Finn peeled the skin off his chin

[00:01:24] And the ructions 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 the made a drive us all to march away

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

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