Lemme you a little story About a man Johnny Tarr He was a hard drinking son of a at the bar
Lager the tap Or shots of Paddy the shelf He could open his And back a bottle As quick as the himself, Johnny Tarr
And the got around That Johnny Tarr was no Claire to here they'd lock up the beer When went on a bender
Down at Mack's The Rising Sun, or at the He was drinking at seven, by ten to Well, all the booze would be gone, Tarr
And if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it But I trust a person like me, if I were you I wasn't there, I swear I have an alibi I heard it from a man who knows a fella who it's true
It was in the morning On a cold and night Johnny walked into the Bar Looking to get
He had money in his He had in his eye He said, "Get up off your And set up the I'm this place dry"
Now all the boozers They were soon broken When Johnny off six And he was only getting
Guzzling down the Knockin' em back candy He was lookin' alright to be drinkin' all Then Nora brought out the brandy, Tarr
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't it But I trust a person like me, if I were you Sure I there, I swear I have an alibi I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says true
Johnny drank the damn bottle Had pint or two it made no impression He started a with Murphy's Millennium Brew
He was waiting for his his face turned green Jesus, Johnny fell After fifteen
And you could've heard a pin the crowd let out a roar It five Cork women To Johnny off the floor
The looked him over And said, "Better the hearse But it's not what thinkin' It wasn't the drinkin' this man died of thirst" Johnny
And if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it But I trust a person like me, if I were you Sure I wasn't there, I I have an alibi I heard it from a man who knows a fella who it's true
And if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if I you Sure I wasn't there, I swear I have an I it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true
