Ah weren't we the rare oul' stock? Spent the evening getting' locked In the Ace O' Hearts Where the high stools were engaging Over the Butt Bridge down by the dock The boat she sailed at five o' clock "Hurry on lads" says Whack Or before we're there we'll all be back Sayin' carry him if you can Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Before we reached the Alexander Base A ding dong we did surely raise In the bar of the boat we had great sport As the ship she sailed out from the port Landed up in the Douglas Head Enquiring for a vacant bed To the dining room soon were shown by A decent woman from up the road Sayin' "Ate that if you can" Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Next morning went for a ramble round To see the sights of Douglas Town All went for a might session In a pub they called Dick Darbies All got drunk by half past three To sober up went swimming in the sea Then back to the digs for a spruce up While waiting for the rosie We all drew up our plan Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
That night we went to the Texas Bar Came back down by horse and car Met Big Jim and all went in to drink some wine in Yates The Liverpool girls it was said were all to be met In the Douglas Head McShane was there in a tie and shirt And with the foreign girls he was trying to flirt Sayin' "Here girls I'm your man" Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Whacker fancied his good looks With an Isle of Man woman he was struck But a Liverpool lad was by her side And he throwin' the jar into her Whacker thought he'd take a chance He asked the quare one out to dance Around the floor they stepped it out To Whack it was no bother Eveyrthing was goin' to plan Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Well the Isle of Man woman fancied Whack But your man stood there till his mates came back Whack! They all whacked into Whack And Whack was landed on his back The Douglas force arrived as well Landed up in the Douglas jail Until that Dublin boat did sail Deported ever man Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
