Come single belle and beau unto me pay attention

Don't ever fall in love for it's the devil's own invention

For this I fell in love with a maiden so bewitching

Miss Henrietta bell out in captain Kelly's kitchen

Toora loora loora la toora loora la

Toora loora la toora loora la

At the age of seventeen he was prenticed to a grocer

Not far from Stephen's green where Miss Henri used to go sir

Her manners were sublime and she set he heart a twitching

And she invited him to a hooley in the kitchen

Toora loora loora la toora loora la

Toora loora la toora loora la

Then Sunday being the day that we were to have the flare up

He dressed himself quite gay and he frizzed and oiled his hair up

The captain had no wife and he had gone a fishing

So they kicked up high life down below stairs in the kitchen

Toora loora loora la toora loora la

Toora loora la toora loora la

With the arm around her waist she slyly hinted marriage

To the door in dreadful haste came captain Kelly's carriage

Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spitting

When the captain at the door he walked right into the kitchen

Toora loora loora la toora loora la

Toora loora la toora loora la

When the captain came downstairs though he saw the situation

In despite of all his prayers he was marched off to the station

Sure they'd take no bail but to get home he was itching

What he had to tell the tale how we got into the kitchen

Toora loora loora la toora loora la

Toora loora la toora loora la

He said she did invite him but she gave a flat denial

For assault she did indict him and he was sent for trial

She swore he robbed the house

And in spite of all her schreeching

And he got six months hard for the courting in the kitchen

Toora loora loora la toora loora la

Toora loora la toora loora la

Toora loora loora la toora loora la

Toora loora loora la toora loora la

Toora loora
