HULLABALOO BELAY
Me mother kept a boarding house,
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay.
And all the boarders were out to make,
Hullabaloo belay.
There was a young fellow named Shallo Brown,
Hullabaloo, etc.
Followed me mother all over the town,
Hullabaloo, etc.
One day when me father was in the "Crown,"
Me mother ran off with Shallo Brown,
Me father said to me, "Me boy"
To which I quickly made reply,
Me father slowly pined away,
Me mother came back on the very next day.
