Bellowhead - The Old Dun Cow lyrics

rate me

Some mates and I in a public house

We’re playing dominoes last night

When all of a sudden in the pot-man came

With his face all chalky white

"What's up?" says Brown. "Have you seen a ghost?"

"Have you seen your Aunt Mariah?"

"Me Aunt Mariah be blown," said he.

"The bloomin' pub's on fire!"

Oh there was Brown, upside down

Knocking back the whiskey on the floor

"Booze, booze," the firemen cried

As they came knocking at the door

Oh don't let them until it's all mopped up

Somebody shouted "MacIntyre!"

And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk

When the Old Dun Cow caught fire

Old Johnson rushed to the port wine tub

And gave it just a few hard knocks

He started taking off his pantaloons

Like wise his shoes and socks

"Hold on," said Tibbs, "If you want to wash your feet

There's a tub of old ale here

Don't wash your feet in the port wine tub

When we've still got some old stale beer"

Oh there was Brown, upside down

Knocking back the whiskey on the floor

"Booze, booze," the firemen cried

As they came knocking at the door

Oh don't let them in ’til it's all mopped up

Somebody shouted "MacIntyre!"

And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk

When the Old Dun Cow caught fire

Just then there came such an awful crash

Half the bloomin' roof gave way

We were doused with a fireman's hose

But still we were all gay

So we got some sacks, and some old tin tacks

And we bunged ourselves inside

And we all got drinking good old Scotch

'Til we was bleary-eyed

Oh there was Brown, upside down

Knocking back the whiskey on the floor

"Booze, booze," the firemen cried

As they came knocking at the door

Oh don't let them in ’til it's all mopped up

Somebody shouted "MacIntyre!"

And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk

When the Old Dun Cow caught fire

Fire! Fire!

Fire! Fire!

Fire! Fire!

Fire! Fire!

And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk

When the Old Dun Cow caught fire
