Couting In The Kitchen - The Clancy Brothers

Come single belle and beau unto me pay attention

Don't ever fall in love it's the Devil's own invention

For once I fell in love with a maiden so bewitchin'

Miss Henrietta Bell out of Captain Kelly's kitchen

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

At the age of seventeen I was prenticed to a grocer

Not far from Steven's Green where Miss Henry used to go sir

Her manners were sublime she set me heart a twitchin'

And she invited me to a hooley in the kitchen

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

Next Sunday being the day we were to have the flare up

I dressed myself quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up

The Captain had no wife and he had gone a fishin'

And we kicked up high down below stairs in the kitchen

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

Just as the clock struck six we sat down to the table

She handed tay and cake and I ate while I was able

I drank hot punch and tay till me side had got to stitchin'

And the hours passed quick away when you're courting in the kitchen

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

With me arms around her waist she slyly hinted marriage

To the door in dreadful haste came Captain Kelly's carriage

Her eyes down filled with hate and poison she was spittin'

When the Captain at the door walked right into the kitchen

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

She flew up off me knees full five feet up or higher

And over head and heels through me slap into the fire

Me new repealer's coat that I bought from Mr Mitchell

With a twenty shilling note went to blazes in the kitchen

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

I grieved to see me duds all smeared with soot and ashes

When a tub of dirty suds right in me face she dashes

As I lay on the floor the water she kept pitchin'

The footman broke the door and walked straight into the kitchen

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

When the Captain came downstairs though he saw me situation

In spite all of me prayers I was marched off to the station

For me they'd take no bail but to get home I was itchin'

But I had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

I said she did invite me but she gave a flat denial

For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial

She swore I robbed the house in spite of all her screechin'

And I got six months hard for me courtin' in the kitchen

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie
