The Waxies Dargle
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan:
'Will yeh come to the waxies dargle?'
Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan:
'Sure I haven't got a farthing
I've just been down to Monto town
To see uncle Mc Ardle
But he wouldn't lend me half a crown
For to go to the Waxies dargle.
(chorus)
What are you having, will you have a pint
Yes, I'll have a pint with you sir
And if one of ya doesn't order soon
We'll be thrown out of the boozer
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan:
"Will you come to the Galway Races"
Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan
"With the price of my aul' lad's braces"
I went down to Capel Street
To the Jew man moneylenders
But they wouldn't give me a couple of bob on
My aul' lad's suspenders.
What are you having...
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
"We have no beef or mutton
But if we go down to Monto town
We might get a drink for nuttin'
Here's a piece of advice
I got from an aul' fishmonger
When food is scarce and you see the hearse
You'll know you have died of hunger.
What are you having...
