THE CRAIC WAS NINETY IN THE ISLE OF MAN
G G G G
Weren't we, The rare ould stock, Spent the evening gettin' locked
D D C C
In the Ace of Hearts, Where the high stools were engaging
G G G G
Over the Butt bridge, Down be the dock, And the boat she sailed at five o'clock
D D C C
Hurry lads, Says Whack, Or before we're there, We'll all be back
G G G D G G
Carry him if you can, Oh, The craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
G G G G
Before we reached the Alexander Base, The ding dong we did surely raise
D D
In the bar of the ship, We had great sport
C C
As the boat she sailed out from the port
G G G G
Landed up in the Douglas Head, Enquirin' for a vacant bed
D D C C
In the dining room, Got shown, By a decent woman up the road
G G G D G G
Lads, Bate it if ya can, Oh, The craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
G G G G
Next morning went for a ramble round, And saw the sights a Douglas Town
D D C C
Then we went for a mighty session, In a pub they call Dick Darbys
G G G G
All got drunk be half past three, To sober up, Went swimming in the sea
D D C C
Back to the digs for the spruce up, And while waitin' for the rosie
G G G D G
We all drew up our plan, Oh, The craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
G G G G
That night we went to the Texas Bar, And came back down be horse and car
D D C C
Met Big Jim and we all went in, To drink some wine in Yates's
G G G G
The Liverpool girls, It was said, Were all to be met in The Douglas Head
D D C C
McShane was there in a tie and shirt, With the foreign girls he was tryin' to flirt
G G G D G G
Sayin', Hey girls I'm yer man, Oh, The craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
G G G G
Whacker fancied his good looks, With an Isle of Man woman he was struck
D D C C
The Liverpool lad was by her side, As he was throwin' the jar into her
G G G G
Whacker thought he'd take a chance, So he asked the quare wan out to dance
D D C C
Round the floor they stepped it out, To Whack it was no bother
G G G D G
Everythin' was goin' ta plan, Oh, The craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
G G
The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack
G G
Yer man stood there, 'Til his heads came back
D D C C
And whack, They all whacked inta Whack, And Whack was landed on his back
G G G G
The Douglas force arrived as well, Landed a couple a belts as well
D D C C
And ended up in the Douglas Jail, Until the Dublin boat did sail
G G G D G
Deported every man, Oh, The craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
