Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, weren’t we the rare oul stock spent the evening getting locked
\nUp in the Ace o hearts where the high stools were engaging
\nOver the Butt Bridge down the dock the boat she sailed at 5 o’clock
\n“Hurry boys, now” said Whack or before we’re there we’ll all be back
\nCarry him if you can the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man.<\/p>\n

Before we reached the Alexander base the ding dong we surely did raise
\nIn the bar of the ship we had great sport
\nAs the boat she sailed out of the port
\nLanded up in the Douglas head enquired for a vacant bed
\nThe dining room we soon got shown by a decent woman up the road
\nLads, eat it if you can and the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man<\/p>\n

Next morning we went for a ramble round viewed the sights of Douglas town
\nThen we went for a nighty session in a pub they call Dick Darbies
\nWe must have been drunk by half past three
\nTo sober up we went swimming in the sea
\nBack to the digs for the spruce up and while waitin’ for the fry
\nWe all drew up our plan
\nThe crack was ninety in the Isle of Man.<\/p>\n

That night we went to Texas Bar Came back down by horse
\n& car Met Big Jim & all went in to drink some wine in Yate’s The
\nLiverpool Judies it was said were all to be found in the Douglas head McShane
\nwas there in his suit & shirt Them foreign girls he was trying to flirt
\nSayin “Here girls, I’m your man” & the crack was ninety in
\nthe Isle of Man<\/p>\n

Whacker fancied his good looks, on an Isle of Man woman
\nhe was struck But a Liverpool lad was by her side & he was throwin’
\nthe jar into her Whacker thought he’d take a chance he asked the quare
\none out to dance Around the floor they stepped it out And to Whack it was
\nno bother Everything was goin’ to plan the crack was ninety in the Isle
\nof Man<\/p>\n

The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack your man stood there
\ntill his mates came back Whack! They all whacked into Whack & Whack
\nwas whacked out on his back The police force arrived as well Banjoed a
\ncouple of them as well Landed up in the Douglas jail Until the Dublin boat
\ndid sail Deported every man The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
