Old Dun Cow Some friends and I in an old pub house Was playin’ at cards one night, When into the pub a fireman ran His face all chalky white. [What'd he say?] “What’s up,” says Brown, “Have you seen a ghost, Or have you seen your Aunt Maria?” [Who's she?] “My Aunt Maria begarra,” says he, The bleedin’ pub’s on fire!” [No!] “On fire!?” Says Brown, “What a bit of luck! Everybody follow me. [Where're We goin'?] And it’s down to the cellar If the fire’s not there, we’ll have a grand old spree.” So we all went down after good old Brown The booze we could not miss, And we weren’t there ten minutes or more ‘Till we were all half pissed. Chorus: And there was Brown, he was upside down Lappin’ up the whiskey on the floor! And, “Booze! Booze! The firemen cried As they came knockin’ at the door. [CLAP CLAP] Well, don’t let ‘em in ‘till it’s all drunk up. Somebody shouted MacIntyre. [MACINTYRE!] And we all got blue-blind paralytic drunk When the Old Dun Cow caught fire. Then, Smith went o’er 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. [Hoo Hoo] "Hold on, " says Brown, "we can’t have that Ye cannot do that thing here. Don't wash your trousers in the port wine tub [Where're we gonna' wash 'em?] When we’ve got all this light beer." (chorus) Just then there came a mighty crash, Half the bloody roof gave way. We were almost drowned in the firemen's hose Though we were goin’ to stay So we got some tacks and more wet sacks And we tacked ourselves inside And we sat there drinkin’ pints of stout ‘Till we were bleary-eyed. (chorus) And we all got blue-blind paralytic drunk When the Old Dun Cow caught fire! |
