| 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! |
