      G                   C
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
      G
"Will ye go to the Waxies' Dargle?"
G                        C
Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan
    G       D     G
"I haven't got a farthing
G
I went up to Monto town
               D   G
To see Uncle McArdle
G
But he wouldn't give me a half a crown
     G            D       G
For to go to the Waxies' Dargle."

Chorus:
G
What will ya have?
C
I'll have a pint!
G                           D
I'll have a pint with you, sir!
G
And if one of ya' doesn't order soon
We'll be chucked out of the boozer!

Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
"Will ye go to the Galway races?"
Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan
"I'll hawk me aul' man's braces
I went up to Capel Street
To the Jewish moneylenders
But he wouldn't give me a couple of bob
For the aul' man's red suspenders"

Chorus

Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
"We got no beef or mutton
If we went up to Monto town
We might get a drink for nothin'"
Here's a nice 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"
