Quare Bungle Rye |
| Now Jack was a sailor who roamed on the town |
| And she was a damsel who skipped up and down |
| Said the damsel to Jack as she passed him by |
| Would you care for to purchase some |
| Quare bungle rye roddy rye? |
| Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye |
| Thought Jack to himself, «Now what can this be? |
| But the finest of whiskey from far Germany |
| Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly |
| And the name that it goes by is |
| Quare bungle rye roddy rye? |
| Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye» |
| Jack gave her a pound and he thought nothing strange |
| Said she, «Hold the basket till I get you your change» |
| Jack looked in the basket and a baby did spy |
| Oh, Begorrah, said Jack, this is |
| Quare bungle rye roddy rye? |
| Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye |
| Now to get the child christened was Jack’s first intent |
| For to get the child christened, to the parson he went |
| Says the parson to Jack, «What will he go by?» |
| Begorrah, says Jack, Call him |
| Quare bungle rye roddy rye? |
| Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye |
| Said the parson to Jack, «That's a mighty queer name» |
| Says Jack to the parson, «It's a queer way he came |
| Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly |
| And the name that he’ll go by is |
| Quare bungle rye roddy rye? |
| Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye |
| Now all you young sailors who roam on the town |
| Beware of those damsels who skip up and down |
| Take a look in their basket as they pass you by |
| Or else they may sell you some |
| Quare bungle rye roddy rye? |
| Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye |
