| Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
|
| Well weren’t we the rare oul stock
|
| Spent the evenin' gettin' locked
|
| In the Ace O' Hearts where the high stools were
|
| Engaging
|
| Over the Butte Bridge, down by the dock
|
| The boat she sailed at five o’clock
|
| 'Ah hurry on', said Whack
|
| 'Or before we’re there we’ll all be back
|
| Carry him if you can'
|
| Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
|
| Before we reached the Alexander Base
|
| The ding dong we did surely raise
|
| In the bar of the ship, had great sport
|
| As the boat she sailed out of the port
|
| Landed up in the Douglas Head
|
| Enquiring for a vacant bed
|
| The dining room we soon got shown
|
| By a decent looking woman
|
| Saying 'Lads ate up if you can. |
| '
|
| Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
|
| Next morning we went for a ramble round
|
| Viewed the sights of Douglas Town
|
| Ended up in a mighty session
|
| In a pub they call dick Darby’s
|
| We all got drunk by half past three
|
| To sober up we went swimmin' in the sea
|
| Back to the digs for the spruce up
|
| While waitin' for the Rosie, we all drew up our plan
|
| Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
|
| That night we went to the Texas Bar
|
| Came back down by horse and car
|
| Met Big Jim and all went in
|
| To drink some wine in Yates'
|
| The Liverpool girls it was said
|
| Were all to be found in the Douglas Head
|
| Mcshane was there in tie and shirt
|
| The foreign queer was tryin' to flirt
|
| Sayin', 'Hey, girls, I’m your man. |
| '
|
| Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
|
| Whacker fancied his good looks
|
| On the Isle of Man woman he was struck
|
| The Liverpool lad was by her side and
|
| And he threw the jars into her
|
| Whacker thought he’d take a chance
|
| He asked the quare one out to dance
|
| Around the floor they rocked and rolled
|
| To Whack it was no bother
|
| Everythin' was goin' to plan
|
| Oh The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
|
| The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack
|
| Your man stood there till his mates came back
|
| Whack! |
| They all whacked into Whack
|
| Whack was landed on his back
|
| The police force arrived as well
|
| Banjoed a couple of them as well
|
| Landed up in the Douglas gaol
|
| 'Til the Dublin boat did sail
|
| Deported every man
|
| Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man |
