Refren: And there was Brown upside down Lappin’ up the whiskey on the floor. “Booze, booze!” The firemen cried As they came knockin’ at the door Oh don’t let ‘em in ‘til it’s all drunk up Somebody shouted MacIntyre!

Well, later that night, when the fire was out We came up from below. Our booze was drunk, our pub was burned, Our spirits were quite low… “Just wait”, said Brown, as he checked his watch By the embers of the dyin’ fire “We better get down to Murphy’s Pub, It closes on the hour!”
