Captain Kelly's Kitchen Lyrics
Captain Kellys Kitchen - Dropkick Murphys
single Come guy and gal unto me pay attention
Don't ever fall in love it's the devil's own invention
For once he fell in love with a maiden so bewitching
Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen
With me toora loora la me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
At the age of seventeen I apprenticed to a grocer
Not far from Stephen's Green
Where Miss Henri' used to go sir
Her manners were sublime she set my heart a-twitching
When she invited me to a party in the kitchen
With me toora loora la me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
Sunday was the day that they were to have their flare up
He dressed himself quite gay
I frizzed and oiled my hair up
The Captain had no wife and he had gone a fishing
She groped me on the stairs beneath the old man's kitchen
With me toora loora la me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
Her arms around my waist she slyly hinted marriage
When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage
Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spitting
The Captain kicked the door in and stormed into the kitchen
With me toora loora la me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
Captain When the came downstairs he saw my situation
In spite of all his prayers he was marched off to the station
For him they'd take no bail
To get home I was it chin
He had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen
With me toora loora la me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
I said she did invite me
But she gave flat denial
For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial
She swore he'd robbed her house
In spite of all her screeching
I got six months hard
For his courtin' in the kitchen
With me toora loora la me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
