Oh Larry Mick McGarry,
Was a torment in the town,
A lad, a woman glad o'
But a man would like to drown;
With a smile he would beguile away
A girl from her boy,
An' before he got a mile away
He tired of his toy.
CHORUS:
Titheryah the doodle ah
No marryin' for me!
Titheryah the doodle ah
As far as I can see.
Bright by the candle light
An' pourin' out the tea;
But yer glad ye didn't ax her
in the mornin'.
Oh, Larry played old Harry
With the girls about the place.
At the dancin' they'd be glancin'
At the features of his face.
But he never would endeavour
To be lover-like until --.,
Mary Carey, she's a fairy,
Had him going like a mill.
CHORUS:
Titheryah the 'doodle ah
He met her in the street,
Titheryah the doodle ah
Sez he, "Yer lookin' sweet,
A walk an' a talk wid ye'
I think would be a treat.
But all he got from Mary was
"Good Morning."
The dancin' down at Clancy's
Brought in all the neighbourhood,
Though the roof wasn't waterproof,
The floor was fairly good,
An' Larry Mick McGarry
He could handle well the leg,
But Mary light and airy,
Oh, she took him down a peg.
CHORUS:
Titheryah the, doodle ah
She footed it with Flynn
Titheryah the doodle ah
An'all the other min;
But Larry Mick McGarry
Oh! he hadn't a look in
Faith he had to go and find her
In the morning.
Oh, she taught him till she brought
Up to where she had designed.
Sez Larry, "Will ye marry me!"
Siz she, "I wouldn't mind."
He kissed her an' carrissed her
Which is quite the proper thing;
Then together, hell for leather,
They were off to buy a ring.
CHORUS:
Titheryah the doodle ah
"No marrin" sez you.
Titheryah the doodle ah
Ye may escape the 'flu.
Wait till you meet yer mate
An' all there is to do
Is to go an' buy the licence In the morning.
