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

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

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

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

We had a bob or two which[00:00:08]

We knew how to blew[00:00:09]

And the beer and whiskey flew[00:00:10]

And we all felt gay[00:00:11]

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

Humpty Dan's[00:00:15]

We then went into Swann's[00:00:16]

Our stomachs for to pack[00:00:17]

We ordered out a feed[00:00:18]

Which indeed we did need[00:00:19]

And we finished it with speed[00:00:20]

But we still felt slack[00:00:22]

Johnny McEldoo turned red[00:00:23]

White and blue[00:00:25]

And a plate of Irish stew[00:00:25]

He soon put out of sight[00:00:27]

He shouted out Encore[00:00:28]

With a roar for some more[00:00:29]

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

He ordered eggs and ham bread[00:00:33]

And jam what a cram[00:00:34]

But him we couldn't ram though[00:00:35]

We tried our level best[00:00:37]

For everything we brought cold[00:00:38]

Or hot mattered not[00:00:39]

It went down him like a shot and[00:00:40]

He still stood the test[00:00:42]

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

We got scared[00:00:44]

We thought it would go hard[00:00:45]

When the waiter brought the bill[00:00:46]

We told him to give other[00:00:47]

But he swore he could loser[00:00:48]

Twice as much again and[00:00:50]

More before he had his fill[00:00:51]

He nearly sucked a trough full of broth[00:00:52]

Says McGrath[00:00:53]

He'll devour the table cloth[00:00:54]

If you don't hold him in[00:00:55]

When the waiter brought the charge[00:00:57]

McEldoo felt so large[00:00:58]

He began to scowl and barge and[00:00:59]

His blood went on fire[00:01:00]

He began to curse and swear tear[00:01:01]

His hair in despair[00:01:03]

And to finish the affair[00:01:03]

Called the shopman a liar[00:01:04]

The shopman he drew out and[00:01:06]

No doubt he did clout[00:01:07]

McEldoo he kicked about[00:01:08]

Like an old football[00:01:08]

He tattered all his clothes broke[00:01:10]

His nose I suppose[00:01:11]

He'd have killed him with a few blows[00:01:12]

In no time at all[00:01:13]

McEldoo began to howl[00:01:14]

And to growl by my soul[00:01:15]

He threw an empty bowl[00:01:16]

At the shopkeeper's head[00:01:17]

It struck by Mickey Finn peeled[00:01:18]

The skin off his chin[00:01:19]

And the ructions did begin[00:01:20]

And we all fought and bled[00:01:21]

The Peelers did arrive man alive four or five[00:01:22]

At us the made a drive us all to march away[00:01:23]

We paid for all the meat[00:01:25]

That we ate stood a treat[00:01:26]

And went home to ruminate on the spree that day[00:01:28]
