Says[D] my old one to[G] your old one,
Will you[D] come to the Waxies Dargle,
Says your old one to[G] my old one,
Sure I[A] haven't got a[D] farthing,
I went up to Monto Town,
To see uncle[G] Mc Ar[[A]dle,
But he[D] wouldn't give me[G] half a crown,
To[A] go to the Waxies[D] Dargle.

Says your old one to my old one,
Will you go to the Galway races,
Says your old one to my old one,
I'll hump the old man's braces,
I went down to Capel Street,
To the Jew man moneylenders,
But they wouldn't give me a couple of bob,
On the old man's red suspenders.
[3]
Says my old one to your old one,
We have no beef or mutton,
But if we go down to Monto [ lyrics ] Town,
We might get a drink for nothin,
Here's a nice piece of advece,
I heard from an old fishmonger,
When food is scarce and ye see the hearse,
You know you have died of hunger.
What will ye have,I'll have a pint,
I'll have a pint with you sir,
And if one of you's doesn't order soon,
We'el be trown out of the boozer.
Will you[D] come to the Waxies Dargle,
Says your old one to[G] my old one,
Sure I[A] haven't got a[D] farthing,
I went up to Monto Town,
To see uncle[G] Mc Ar[[A]dle,
But he[D] wouldn't give me[G] half a crown,
To[A] go to the Waxies[D] Dargle.
