There was Johnny McEldoo and McGee and me

And a couple or two or three

Went on a spree one day

We had a bob or two which we knew how to blew

And the beer and whiskey flew and we all felt gay

We visited McCann's McLemann's humpty dan's

We then went into swann's our stomachs for to pack

We ordered out a feed which indeed we did need

And we finished it with speed but we still felt slack

Johnny McEldoo turned redwhite and blue

And a plate of Irish stew he soon put out of sight

He shouted out encore with a roar for some more

That he never felt before such a keen appetite

He ordered eggs and ham bread and jam what a cram

But him we couldn't ram though we tried our level best

For everything we brought cold or hot mattered not

It went down him like a shot and he still stood the test

He swallowed tripe and lard by the yard we got scared

We thought it would go hard when the waiter brought the bill

We told him to give over but he swore he could lo'er

Twice as much again and more before he had his fill

He nearly sucked a trough full of broth says McGrath

He'll devour the table cloth if you don't hold him in

When the waiter brought the charge McEldoo felt so large

He began to scowl and barge and his blood went on fire

He began to curse and swear tear his hair in despair

And to finish the affair called the shopman a liar

The shopman he drew out and no doubt he did clout

McEldoo he kicked about like an old football

He tattered all his clothes broke his nose I suppose

He'd have killed him with a few blows in no time at all

McEldoo began to howl and to growl by my soul

He threw an empty bowl at the shopkeeper's head

It struck by Mickey Finn peeled the skin off his chin

And the ructions did begin and we all fought and bled

The Peelers did arrive man alive four or five

At us the made a drive us all to march away

We paid for all the meat that we ate stood a treat

And went home to ruminate on the spree that day
