Lyrics ....

Some friends and I in a public house were playing Dominos one night
In to the room a fireman come, his face all chalky white.
"What’s up?" says Brown, "Have you seen a ghost? Have you seen your Aunt Mariah?"
"Oh, me Aunt Mariah be buggered!" says he, "The bloody pub's on fire!"
"On fire?," says Brown, "What a bit of luck. Everybody follow me
Down to the cellar if the fire’s not there, we’ll have a rare old spree!"
So we all went down after Good Ol’ Brown and the booze we could not miss
And weren't there five minutes or more til we were all half pissed.

And there was Brown, upside down, licking up the whisky from the floor!
"Booze! Booze!" the firemen cried as they came knocking on the door.
"Don’t let ‘em in ‘til its all mopped up!"
Somebody shouted "MacIntire!"
And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk when the Old Dun Cow caught fire.

Well, Smith walked over to the port wine tub and gave it just a few hard knocks.
Started taking off his pantaloons likewise his shoes and socks.
"Hold on," says Brown, "we can't have that. You can't do that in here.
Don’t be washing your trotters in the port wine tub. When we've got all this "Light Beer".

And there was Brown, upside down, licking up the whisky from the floor!
"Booze! Booze!" the firemen cried as they came knocking on the door.
"Don’t let ‘em in ‘til its all mopped up!"
Somebody shouted "MacIntire!"
And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk when the Old Dun Cow caught fire

Just then there came an awful crash! Half the bloody roof gave way.
We were drowned in the fireman's hose til we going to stay
So we got some tacks and some old wet slacks and nailed ourselves inside
And we sat there swalley'n pints of stout til we were all bleary eyed.

And there was Brown, upside down, licking up the whisky from the floor!
"Booze! Booze!" the firemen cried as they came knocking on the door.
"Don’t let ‘em in ‘til its all mopped up!"
Somebody shouted "MacIntire!"
And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk when the Old Dun Cow caught fire.
