Chorus:
What are ye havin', will ye have a pint?
"I'll have a pint with you sir!"
And if one of yez doesn't order soon
We'll be thrown out of the boozer!

Says my auld one to your auld one, "Will ye go to the waxies dargle?"
Says your auld one to my auld one, "Sure I haven't got a farthin'".
I went down to (Charlottetown) to see young (Myrt McCardle),
But (she) wouldn't give me a half a crown for to go to the waxies dargle

(Chorus)

Says my auld one to your auld one, "Will ye go to the Galway Races?"
Says your auld one to my auld one, "With the price of me auld lad's braces?
I went down to (Grafton) Street, to the Jew man money lenders,
But they wouldn't give me a couple o' bob on my auld lad's suspenders!"

(Chorus)

Says my auld one to your auld one, "We have no beef or mutton,
But if we go down to (Charlottetown), we might get a drink for nothin'!"
Here's a piece of advice that I got from a auld fishmonger...
"If you see the hearse, and you're feeling worse, you'll know you've died of hunger!"
