Karaoké The Craic Was Ninety in the Isle of Man Mike Denver

Weren't we the rare oul' stock

Spent the evenin' gettin' locked

In the Ace O' Hearts

Where the high stools were engaging

Over the Butte Bridge down by the dock

The boat she sailed at five o'clock

'Hurry now, lads', says Whack or before we're there sure we'll all be back

Carry him if you can

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man

Before we reached the Alexander Base

The ding dong we did surely raise

In the bar of the boat had great sport as the ship she sailed out from the port

Landed up in the Douglas Head

Enquiring for a vacant bed

The dining room we soon get shown by a decent woman from up the road

Ate it if you can

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man

Next morning we went for a ramble round to see the sights of Douglas Town

Then we all went in for a mighty session in a pub they call Dick Darby's

All been drunk by half past three

To sober up we went swimmin' in the sea

Back to the digs for the spruce up while waitin' for the Rosie

We all drew up our plan

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man

That night we went to the Texas Bar

We came back down by horse and car

Met Big Jim and we all went in for to drink some wine in Yates

The Liverpool girls it was said were all to be met in the Douglas Head

McShane was there in his tie and shirt

Them foreign girls he was tryin' to flirt

Sayin' here girls

I'm your man

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man

Hey

Ol' Whacker fancied his good looks

On an Isle of Man woman he was struck

Liverpool lad was by her side and he peggin' the jar into her

Whacker thought he'd take a chance

So he asked the quare one out to dance

Around the floor they stepped it out

And to Whack it was no bother

Everythin' was goin' to plan

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man

The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack

Your man stood there 'till his mates came back

Whack they all whacked into Whack

And Whack was landed on his back

The government's force arrived as well

Landed a couple of belts as well

Landed up in the Douglas jail until the Dublin boat did sail

Deported every man

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man

Oh, the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man

Hey
