Mrs. Murphy gave a party just about a week ago,
Everything was plentiful, well, the Murphys they're not slow;
They treated us like gentlemen, we tried to act the same,
Only for what happened, well, it was an awful shame....
Mrs. Murphy dished the chowder out, she fainted on the spot,
She found a pair of overalls in the bottom of the pot;
Dick Nolan he got rippin', and his eyes were bulging out,
He jumped upon the piano and loudly he did shout....
HEY! Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?
Nobody spoke up so they shouted all the louder,
It's an Irish trick that's true;
I can lick the mick who threw,
The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder.
They dragged the pants from out the soup and laid them on the floor,
Each man swore upon his life he ne'er seen them before;
They were plastered up with mortar and worn out at the knee,
They had their many ups and downs as we could plainly see....
And when Mrs. Murphy she came to she began to cry and pout,
She had them in the wash that day, forgot to take them out;
Dick Nolan he excused himself for what he said that night,
So we put music to the words and sang with all our might....
HEY! Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?
Nobody spoke up so they shouted all the louder,
It's an Irish trick that's true;
I can lick the mick who threw,
The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder.
Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?
Nobody spoke up so they shouted all the louder,
It's an Irish trick that's true;
I can lick the mick who threw,
The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder.
