I’ll tell me Ma when I go home, The boys won’t leave the girls alone. They pulled my hair, they stole my comb, But that’s all right 'til I go home. She is handsome, she is pretty, She’s the belle of Belfast City, She goes courting, 1-2-3. Please won’t you tell me who is she? Albert Mooney says he loves her, All the boys are fighting for her. Knocking on the door and ringing the bell, saying, “Oh my true love, are you well?” Out she comes as white as snow, Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes. Old Johnny Murphy says she’ll die If she doesn’t get the fellow with the roving eye. ---

Oh, I don’t know why she’s leaving, Or where she’s gonna go, I guess she’s got her reasons, But I just don’t want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice. Alice? Who the fuck is Alice? Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice… And Sally called back and asked how I felt, And she said: “I know how to help - Get over Alice”. She said: “Now Alice is gone, But I’m still here, You know I’ve been waiting For twenty-four years…” And a big limousine disappeared… ---

Honey, you may think I’m fooling, for the foolish things I do You may wonder how come I love you, when you get on my nerves like you do Well baby you know you bug me, there ain’t no secret about that But come on over here and hug me, hey baby I’ll spill the facts Well honey it ain’t your money, cause baby I got plenty of that I love you for your pink Cadillac, crushed velvet seats Riding in the back, cruising down the street Waving to the girls, feeling out of sight Spending all my money on a Saturday night Honey I just wonder what you do there in the back of your pink Cadillac, pink Cadillac ---
