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

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

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 we knew how to blew[00:00:08]

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

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

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

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

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

Johnny McEldoo turned as blue as a Jew[00:00:23]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We got scared[00:00:44]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And to finish the affair called the shopman a liar[00:01:05]

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

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

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

He'd have killed him with a few blows in no time at all[00:01:15]

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

He threw an empty bowl at the shopkeeper's head[00:01:19]

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

And the ructions did begin and we all fought and bled[00:01:24]

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

At us the made a drive us all to march away[00:01:29]

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

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