Song Lyrics: |
There are two funny men The best I've ever seen One is Mr. Gallagher, the other's Mr. Shean When these two cronies meet It surely is a treat For the things they say and the things they do And the funny way they greet
Shean- Oh Mister Gallagher, Mister Gallagher When you get home you'll get a great surprise When your ship is drawing near it will make you shed a tear to see the lights of New York shining in the sky
Gallagher- Oh Mr Shean, Mr Shean I have made that trip so I know just what you mean But there's one that shines so bright it's the brightest one in sight Shean- Statue of Liberty, Mr Gallagher? Gallagher- Coney Island, Mr. Shean!
Shean- Oh, Mr. Gallagher. Oh, Mister Gallagher! It's a long time now yet since you went away You and I have been such pals especially with the gals and we missed you, oh we missed you every day Gallagher- Oh Mr. Shean. Oh Mr. Shean! I've been away to school, that's why I've not been seen The school taught Memory and I took the first degree Shean- Name the school please Mr. Gallagher Gallagher- I forget it Mr. Shean!
Shean- Oh, Mr. Gallagher! Oh, Mister Gallagher! Gallagher- Hello, what's on your mind this morning, Mr. Shean? Shean- Everybody's making fun of the way our country's run All the papers say we'll soon live European Gallagher- Why, Mr. Shean. Why, Mr. Shean! On the day they took away our old canteen Cost of living went so high That it's cheaper now to die Shean- Oh, that's silly Mr. Gallagher! Gallagher- Absolutely, Mr. Shean!
Shean- Oh, Mr. Gallagher. Oh, Mr. Gallagher! If you're a friend of mine you'll lend me a couple of bucks! I'm so broke and badly bent I haven't got a cent I'm so clean you'd think that I was washed in Lux! Gallagher- Oh, Mr. Shean. Oh, Mr. Shean! Do you mean to say you haven't got a bean? Mark my word as I'm alive I intended touching you for five! Shean- Oh I thank you Mr. Gallagher! Gallagher- You are welcome, Mr. Shean!
Shean- Oh Mr. Gallagher! Oh, Mr. Gallagher! Once I think I saw you save a lady's life! In a rowboat out to sea You were a hero then to me And I thought perhaps you'd make this girl your wife Gallagher- Oh, Mr. Shean! Oh, Mr. Shean! As she sunk I dove down like a submarine! Dragged her up upon the shore Now she's mine for evermore Shean- Who, the lady Mr. Gallagher? Gallagher- No! The rowboat, Mr. Shean!
Shean- Oh, Mr. Gallagher! Oh, Mr. Gallagher! What's the name of the game they play upon the links? With a stick they knock the ball Where you can't find it at all? And the caddie walks around and thinks and thinks? Gallagher- Oh, Mr. Shean! Oh, Mr. Shean! You don't even know a hazard from a green It's become a popular game And you don't even know it's name Shean- Sure 'tis croquet, Mr. Gallagher? Gallagher- No! Lawn tennis, Mr. Shean!
Shean- Oh, Mr. Gallagher! Oh, Mr. Gallagher! I was wondering why did you come here alone? You must have something on your mind to leave your wife so far behind she can't even reach you on the telephone Gallagher- Mr. Shean! Why Mr. Shean I came here because she treated me so mean Was your married life all right? Shean- Mine was fight,fight,fight! Look at that black eye Mr. Gallagher! Gallagher- Look at this one, Mr. Shean!
Shean- Oh, Mr. Gallagher, Oh, Mr. Gallagher In New York the girls wear such alluring styles At 42nd and Broadway You could find me every day I used to follow them for miles and miles Gallagher- Oh, Mr. Shean, Oh Mr. Shean Here in Egypt they have styles I've never seen All up and down the Nile the girls wear nothing but a smile Shean- That's why I'm here, Mr. Gallagher! Gallagher- That's why I'm here, Mr. Shean!

fiogf49gjkf0d Here's another mistake the upgrade screwed up. Until a moment ago, this Jazz Age song was credited to Rycehat. I don't think he's quite that old.
