Who Threw The Overalls In Mrs. Murphy's Chowder - Countdown Singers
Murphy's gave a party just about a week ago
Everything was plentiful the murphy's they're not slow
They treated us like gentlemen we tried to act the same
Only for what happened well it was an awful shame
When mrs murphy dished the chowder out
She fainted on the spot
She found a pair of overalls
In the bottom of the pot
Tim nolan he got rippin mad
His eyes were bulgin out
He jumped up on the pi a no
And loudly he did shout
Oh who threw the overalls in mrs murphy's chowder
Nobody spoke so he shouted all the louder
It's an irish trick that's true
I can lick the mick that threw
The overalls in mrs murphy's chowder
It's dragged the pants from out the soup
And laid them on the floor
Each man swore upon his breast
He'd never seen them before
They were plastered up with mortar
And were worn out at the knee
Their many ups and downs as we could plainly see
And when mrs murphy she came to
She began to cry and pout
She'd had them in the wash that day
And forgot to take them out
Tim nolan he excused himself
For what he'd said that night
So we put music to the words
And sang with all our might
Who threw the overalls in mrs murphy's chowder
Nobody spoke so we shouted all the louder
It's an irish trick that's true
I can lick the mick that threw
The overalls in mrs murphy's chowder
