Come single guy and gal unto me pay attention[00:00:04]

Don't ever fall in love[00:00:08]

It's the devil's own invention[00:00:10]

For once he fell in love with a maiden so bewitching[00:00:12]

Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen[00:00:16]

With me toora loora la me toora loora laddie[00:00:20]

Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie[00:00:25]

At the age of seventeen I apprenticed to a grocer[00:00:28]

Not far from Stephen's Green[00:00:32]

Where Miss Henri' used to go sir[00:00:34]

Her manners were sublime she set my heart a-twitchin'[00:00:36]

When she invited me to a party in the kitchen[00:00:40]

Sunday was the day that they were to have their flare-up[00:00:56]

He dressed himself quite gay[00:01:00]

I frizzed and oiled my hair up[00:01:02]

The Captain had no wife and he had gone a-fishin'[00:01:04]

She groped me on the stairs beneath the old man's kitchen[00:01:08]

Her arms around my waist she slyly hinted marriage[00:01:20]

When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage[00:01:24]

Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin'[00:01:28]

The Captain kicked the door in and stormed into the kitchen[00:01:32]

When the Captain came downstairs he saw my situation[00:01:48]

In spite of all his prayers he was marched off to the station[00:01:52]

For him they'd take no bail[00:01:57]

To get home I was itchin'[00:01:59]

He had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen[00:02:01]

I said she did invite me[00:02:14]

But she gave flat denial[00:02:15]

For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial[00:02:17]

She swore he'd robbed her house[00:02:21]

In spite of all her screechin'[00:02:23]

I got six months hard[00:02:25]

For his courtin' in the kitchen[00:02:27]
