Dropkick Murphys - CAPTAIN KELLY'S KITCHEN (COURTIN' IN THE KITCHEN)
2
Come single guy and gal unto me pay attention
3
Don't ever fall in love
4
It's the devil's own invention
5
For once he fell in love with a maiden so bewitching
6
Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen
7
CHORUS:
8
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
9
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
10
At the age of seventeen I apprenticed to a grocer
11
Not far from Stephen's Green
12
Where Miss Henri' used to go sir
13
Her manners were sublime she set my heart a-twitchin'
14
When she invited me to a party in the kitchen
15
CHORUS:
16
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
17
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
18
Sunday was the day that they were to have their flare-up
19
He dressed himself quite gay
20
I frizzed and oiled my hair up
21
The Captain had no wife and he had gone a-fishin'
22
She groped me on the stairs beneath the old man's kitchen
23
CHORUS:
24
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
25
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
26
Her arms around my waist she slyly hinted marriage
27
When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage
28
Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin'
29
The Captain kicked the door in and stormed into the kitchen
30
CHORUS:
31
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
32
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
33
When the Captain came downstairs he saw my situation
34
In spite of all his prayers he was marched off to the station
35
For him they'd take no bail
36
To get home I was itchin'
37
He had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen
38
CHORUS:
39
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
40
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
41
I said she did invite me
42
But she gave flat denial
43
For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial
44
She swore he'd robbed her house
45
In spite of all her screechin'
46
I got six months hard
47
For his courtin' in the kitchen
48
CHORUS:
49
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
50
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
