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