VERSES
|
S--Oh, Mister Gallagher. Oh, Mister Gallagher
|
It's a long time now yet since you went away
|
You and I have been such pals,
|
especially with the gals
|
and we missed you, oh we missed you every day
|
|
G--Oh Mister Shean. Oh Mister Shean!
|
I've been away to school, that's why I've not been seen
|
The school taught Memory
|
and I took the first degree.
|
S--Name the school please Mister Gallagher.
|
G--I forget it Mister Shean!
|
S--Oh, Mister Gallagher! Oh, Mister Gallagher!
|
G--Hello, what's on your mind this morning, Mister Shean?
|
S--Everybody's making fun
|
of the way our country's run.
|
All the papers say we'll soon live European.
|
|
G--Why, Mister Shean. Why, Mister Shean!
|
On the day they took away our old canteen,
|
cost of living went so high,
|
that it's cheaper now to die.
|
S--Oh, that's silly Mister Gallagher!
|
G--Absolutely, Mister Shean!
|
S--Oh Mister Gallagher! Oh, Mister Gallagher!
|
Once I think I saw you save a lady's life!
|
In a rowboat out to sea,
|
You were a hero then to me,
|
And I thought perhaps you'd make this girl your wife!
|
|
G--Oh, Mister Shean! Oh, Mister Shean!
|
As she sunk I dove down like a submarine!
|
Dragged her up upon the shore,
|
Now she's mine for evermore!
|
S--Who, the lady Mister Gallagher?
|
G--No! The rowboat, Mister Shean!
|
|
S--Oh, Mister Gallagher, Oh, Mister Gallagher
|
In New York the girls wear such alluring styles
|
At 42nd and Broadway
|
You could find me every day
|
I used to follow them for miles and miles
|
|
G--Oh, Mister Shean, Oh Mister Shean
|
Here in Egypt they have styles I've never seen;
|
All up and down the Nile
|
the girls wear nothing but a smile.
|
S--That's why I'm here, Mister Gallagher!
|
G--That's why I'm here, Mister Shean!
|
|
Auf Wiedersehen, Mister Gallagher!
|
Top of the Morning, Mister Shean!
