Traditional, arranged by The New Ruffians

lyrics

Says my aul’ wan to your aul’ wan
“Will ye go to the Waxies dargle?”
Says your aul’ wan to my aul’ wan
“We haven’t got a farthing.
We went up to Monto
See our dear Uncle McArdle
But he wouldn’t give us a couple a bob
To go to the Waxies dargle.”

What’ll ya have?!
I’ll have a pint!
I’ll have a pint with you, Sir!
But if one of us don’t order soon
We’ll be chucked out of the boozer!

Says my aul’ wan to your aul’ wan
“Will ye go to the Galway races?”
Says your aul’ wan to my aul’ wan
“We’ll go with our lads braces
We went up to Monto
See the Jewish moneylenders
But they wouldn’t give us a couple a crown
For the aul’ lad with suspenders.”

What’ll ya have?!
I’ll have a pint!
I’ll have a pint with you, Sir!
But if one of us don’t order soon
We’ll be chucked out of the boozer!

Says my aul’ wan to your aul’ wan
We got no beef or mutton
If we went up to Monto town
We might get a piece for nuttin’”
Here’s a piece of advice
From the aul’ fishmongers:
“If the food is scarce, you see the hearse
You’ll know you have died of hunger.”

What’ll ya have?!
I’ll have a pint!
I’ll have a pint with you, Sir!
But if one of us don’t order soon
We’ll be chucked out of the boozer!
