Some f^Amriends and I in a public house Were p^Glaying dominoes one night ^Am When in^Gto the ^Fpub a ^Efireman came His ^Fface all chalky ^Ewhite. "What^Am’s up,” says Brown, "Have you seen a ghost, Have you seen^G your Aunt Mar^Amiah?" "Me Aunt Mar^Giah be b^Fuggered!" says h^Ee, "The b^Floody pub’s on fi^Ere!"

"^AmOn Fire," says Brown, "What a bit of luck. ^GEverybody follow^Am me Down to t^Ghe cellar, i^Ff the fire’s no^Et there Then we’ll ^Fhave a rare old s^Epree." So we^Am all went on down after good old Brown Booze we^G could not miss^Am And we ^Ghadn’t been ^Fthere five ^Eminutes or more ^FTil were all half ^Epissed.

And t^Amhere was Brown, upside down L^Gickin' up the whiskey off the flo^Amor ^G"Booze, booze!" The ^Ffiremen ^Ecried As t^Fhey came knockin’ at the ^Edoor (clap clap) Don’t^Am let ‘em in till it’s all mopped up And s^Gomebody shouted ^AmMaclntyre! MACINTYRE! And we ^Gall got blu^Fe-blind p^Earalytic drunk When the ^FOld Dun ^ECow caught ^Amfire.

Then S^Ammith went over to the port wine tub And ^Ggave it a few hard knocks^Am (clap clap) He st^Garted t^Fakin’ off his ^Epantaloons Likew^Fise his shoes and ^Esocks "Hold^Am on, "says Brown, "we can't have that, Ye ^Gcanna do that in ^Amhere Don’t go ^Gwashin’ ^Fyour trotters in^E the port wine tub When we ^Fgot all this light^E beer.

And t^Amhere was Brown, upside down L^Gickin’ up the whiskey off the flo^Amor ^G"Booze, booze!" The ^Ffiremen ^Ecried As t^Fhey came knockin’ at the ^Edoor (clap clap) Oh do^Amn’t let ‘em in till it’s all mopped up And s^Gomebody shouted ^AmMaclntyre! MACINTYRE! And we ^Gall got blu^Fe-blind p^Earalytic drunk When the ^FOld Dun ^ECow caught ^Amfire.

And t^Amhen there came to the old back door The ^GVicar of our local ^Amchurch And when ^Ghe had ^Fseen our ^Edrunken ways He be^Fgan to scream and ^Ecurse "You ^Amdrunken sods, you heathen clods You’ve ^Gtaken to a drunken ^Amspree! And you ^Gdrank up ^Fall that ^EBenedictine Wine And you ^Fdidn’t save a drop for ^Eme!"

And t^Amhere was Brown, upside down L^Gickin’ up the whiskey off the flo^Amor ^G"Booze, booze!" The ^Ffiremen ^Ecried As t^Fhey came knockin’ at the ^Edoor (clap clap) Oh do^Amn’t let ‘em in till it’s all mopped up And s^Gomebody shouted ^AmMaclntyre! MACINTYRE! And we ^Gall got blu^Fe-blind p^Earalytic drunk When the ^FOld Dun ^ECow caught ^Amfire.

Then^Am all of a sudden came an awful crash Ha^Glf the bloody roof gave ^Amway We were ^Gdrowned^F in the firemen^E’s hose But ^Fwe were gonna ^Estay So we ^Amgot some tacks and some old wet sacks And we ^Gnailed ourselves in^Amside And we ^Gsat there ^Fswallowin' pi^Ents of stout, ‘Till ^Fwe were bleary^E-eyed

And t^Amhere was Brown, upside down L^Gickin’ up the whiskey off the flo^Amor ^G"Booze, booze!" The ^Ffiremen ^Ecried As t^Fhey came knockin’ at the ^Edoor (clap clap) Oh do^Amn’t let ‘em in till it’s all mopped up And s^Gomebody shouted ^AmMaclntyre! MACINTYRE! And we ^Gall got blu^Fe-blind p^Earalytic drunk When the ^FOld Dun ^ECow caught ^Amfire.

L^Amater that night when the fire was out We ^Gcame from the cellar bel^Amow Our p^Gub was b^Furned, our ^Ebooze was drunk And our ^Fheads were a-hangin’ ^Elow "Oh lo^Amok,” says Brown, with a look quite queer It seemed ^Gsomething caught his ^Amire "We’ve ^Ggotta get ^Fdown to M^Eurphy’s pub It ^Fcloses on the ^Ehour!"

And t^Amhere was Brown, upside down L^Gickin’ up the whiskey off the flo^Amor ^G"Booze, booze!" The ^Ffiremen ^Ecried As t^Fhey came knockin’ at the ^Edoor (clap clap) Oh do^Amn’t let ‘em in till it’s all mopped up And s^Gomebody shouted ^AmMaclntyre! MACINTYRE! And we ^Gall got blu^Fe-blind p^Earalytic drunk When the ^FOld Dun ^ECow caught ^Amfire.
