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 [00:00:07]
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 [00:00:17]
And we finished it with speed but we still felt slack [00:00:20]
Johnny McEldoo turned redwhite and blue [00:00:22]
And a plate of Irish stew he soon put out of sight [00:00:24]
He shouted out encore with a roar for some more [00:00:26]
That he never felt before such a keen appetite [00:00:29]
He ordered eggs and ham bread and jam what a cram [00:00:31]
But him we couldn't ram though we tried our level best [00:00:33]
For everything we brought cold or hot mattered not [00:00:35]
It went down him like a shot and he still stood the test [00:00:37]
He swallowed tripe and lard by the yard we got scared [00:00:40]
We thought it would go hard when the waiter brought the bill [00:00:42]
We told him to give over but he swore he could lo'er [00:00:44]
Twice as much again and more before he had his fill [00:00:46]
He nearly sucked a trough full of broth says McGrath [00:00:48]
He'll devour the table cloth if you don't hold him in [00:00:50]
When the waiter brought the charge McEldoo felt so large [00:00:52]
He began to scowl and barge and his blood went on fire [00:00:54]
He began to curse and swear tear his hair in despair [00:00:56]
And to finish the affair called the shopman a liar [00:00:58]
The shopman he drew out and no doubt he did clout [00:01:00]
McEldoo he kicked about like an old football [00:01:02]
He tattered all his clothes broke his nose I suppose [00:01:04]
He'd have killed him with a few blows in no time at all [00:01:06]
McEldoo began to howl and to growl by my soul [00:01:08]
He threw an empty bowl at the shopkeeper's head [00:01:10]
It struck by Mickey Finn peeled the skin off his chin [00:01:11]
And the ructions did begin and we all fought and bled [00:01:13]
The Peelers did arrive man alive four or five [00:01:15]
At us the made a drive us all to march away [00:01:16]
We paid for all the meat that we ate stood a treat [00:01:18]
And went home to ruminate on the spree that day [00:01:21]
