Bing Crosby Who Threw The Overalls In Mrs. Murphy's Chowder
Oh the Murphy's gave a party just about a week ago
Everything was plentiful, the Murphy's they're not slow
They treated us like gentlemen, we tried to act the
same
But only for what happened, well it was an awful shame
When Mrs. Murphy dished the chowder out
She fainted on the spot
She found a pair of overalls
In the bottom of the pot
Tim Nolan he got rippin' mad
His eyes were bulgin' out
He jumped up on the PI-A-NO
And loudly he did shout
Oh, who threw the overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder
Nobody spoke, so he shouted all the louder
It's an Irish trick that's true
I can lick the mick that threw
The overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder
So we dragged the pants from out the soup and laid them
on the floor
Each man swore upon his breast he'd ne'er seen them
before
They were plastered up with mortar and were worn out at
the knee
They'd had their many ups and downs as we could plainly
see
when Mrs Murphy she came to she began to cry and pout
She'd had them in the wash that day and forgot to take
them out
Tim Nolan he excused himself for what he'd said that
night
So we put music to the words and sang with all our
might
Oh, who threw the overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder
Nobody spoke so we shouted all the louder
It's an Irish trick that's true
I can lick the mick that threw
The overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder
