Monto |
Well, if you’ve got a wing-o, |
Take her up to Ring-o |
Where the waxies sing-o all the day; |
If you’ve had your fill of porter, |
And you can’t go any further |
Give your man the order: 'Back to the Quay!' |
And take her up to Monto, Monto, Monto |
Take her up to Monto, lan-ge- roo, |
To you! |
The dirty Duke of Gloucester, |
The dirty old impostor |
Took mot and lost her, up the Furry Glen. |
He first put on his bowler |
And he buttoned up his trousers, |
And he whistled for a growler and he says, 'My man!' |
Take me up to Monto, Monto, Monto |
Take her up to Monto, lan-ge- roo, |
To you! |
You see the Dublin Fusiliers, |
The dirty old bamboozlers, |
They went and got the childer, one, two, three. |
Marching from the Linen Hall |
There’s one for every cannonball, |
And Vick’s going to send them all, o’er the sea. |
But first go up to Monto, Monto, Monto |
Take her up to Monto, lan-ge- roo, |
To you! |
Now when the Tsar of Russia |
And the King of Prussia |
Landed in the Phoenix Park in a big balloon, |
They asked the police band |
To play 'The Wearin' of the Green' |
But the buggers in the depot didn’t know the tune. |
So they both went up to Monto, Monto, Monto |
Take her up to Monto, lan-ge- roo, |
To you! |
The Queen she came to call on us, |
She wanted to see all of us |
I’m glad she didn’t fall on us, she’s eighteen stone. |
'Mister Me Lord Mayor,' says she, |
'Is this all you’ve got to show me?' |
'Why, no ma’am there’s some more to see, Pogue Mahone!' |
And he took her up Monto, Monto, Monto |
Take her up to Monto, lan-ge- roo, |
To you! |
