    Weren't we,  The rare ould stock,  Spent the evening gettin' locked
     G              G                     F                  F
    In the Ace of Hearts,      Where the high stools were engaging

    Over the Butt bridge,  Down be the dock,  And the boat she sailed at five o'clock

    Before we reached the Alexander Base,  The ding dong we did surely raise
            G                   G
    In the bar of the ship, We had great sport
            F                   F
    As the boat she sailed out from the port
      C                 C                C              C
    Landed up in the Douglas Head,    Enquirin' for a vacant bed
    G                           G            F          F
    In the dining room,   Got shown,  By a decent woman up the road

     C                C                    C                C
    All got drunk be half past three,  To sober up, Went swimming in the sea
     G                          G                      F              F
    Back to the digs for the spruce up,   And while waitin' for the rosie

    Whacker fancied his good looks,  With an Isle of Man woman he was struck

          G                G              F               F
