[00:05.62]Somebody's under the bed
[00:06.47]Whoever can it be?
[00:08.19]I feel so very nervous
[00:09.60]I call for Joanee
[00:11.94]Joanee lights the candle
[00:13.70]But there's nobody there
[00:15.67]Hey! Hi! Diddeleedai
[00:18.06]And out goes she
[00:20.97]Skipping rope still turning
[00:22.67]Children at their play
[00:24.63]In and out of Clarendon Street
[00:26.30]In and out to pray
[00:28.33]I haven't prayed for twenty years
[00:30.60]Or sung a happy song
[00:31.92]Since praying went with innocence
[00:33.83]And the devil played along
[00:37.14]And we all went up to the Mero
[00:39.04]Hey there! Who's your man?
[00:40.81]It's only Johnny '40 coats'
[00:42.86]Sure he's a desperate man
[00:44.58]Bang, bang shoots the buses
[00:46.26]With his golden key
[00:48.49]Hey! Hi! Diddeleedai
[00:50.47]And out goes she
[00:53.55]Me father was a stater
[00:55.58]And me mother loved a tan
[00:57.14]She loved her Hafner's sausages
[00:59.02]And her soldier fancy man
[01:01.02]Noel's up in Jacob's
[01:02.68]And Mary's on the town
[01:04.57]And I joined the transport union
[01:06.94]When they said my nose was brown
[01:09.07]And we all went up to the Mero
[01:11.55]Hey there! Who's your man
[01:13.54]It's Alfie Byrne out walking
[01:15.60]Sure he's a decent man
[01:17.16]Bang, bang shoots the buses
[01:19.01]With his golden key
[01:21.37]Hey! Hi! Diddeleedai
[01:23.03]And out goes she
[01:25.18]I've a tanner for the Mero
[01:27.71]And me confo money's hid
[01:29.74]If Mary's in the family way
[01:31.72]She can blame the Cisco kid
[01:33.21]I'll be langers in the morning
[01:35.26]Me longers need a patch
[01:37.16]Ah, Jesus! There's lone' Martin
[01:39.15]I hope he's won the match
[01:41.41]Me uncle had a wolfhound
[01:44.27]That never had to pee
[01:45.72]But Hairy Lemon snatched it
[01:47.79]Down on Eden quay
[01:49.63]Now I have me primo
[01:51.42]And me scapulars are blue
[01:53.27]For helping the black babies
[01:55.39]And Dolly Fossett too
[01:57.40]And we all went up to the Mero
[02:00.11]Hey there! Who's your man?
[02:02.22]It's Brendan Behan out walking
[02:04.32]Sure he's a ginger man
[02:06.10]Bang, bang shoots the buses
[02:07.99]With his golden key
[02:09.66]Hey! Hi! Diddeleedai
[02:11.76]And out goes she
[02:14.34]It's true that Dublin's changing
[02:16.21]Since the pillar was blown down
[02:18.07]By the winds of violence
[02:20.31]That are buggering up the town
[02:22.12]We used to solve a difference
[02:23.84]With a digging match and a jar
[02:25.54]But now they're all playing bang-bang
[02:27.61]That's going too bleeding far
[02:30.15]And we all go up to the Mero
[02:32.68]Hey there! Who's your man?
[02:35.03]It's only me guardian angel
[02:36.96]Get a large one for your man
[02:38.85]There's no use bleedin' Russia
[02:41.19]Sure now it's the holy hour
[02:43.32]A plenary indulgence
[02:45.56]And another baby power
[02:52.07]🎵
