1. Did you ever go in to an Irishman’s shanty?
Ah! there boys you’ll find the whiskey so plenty
With a pipe in his mouth there sits Paddy so free.
No King in his palace is prouder than he.
Hurrah! my honey,  
[Now then boys, one for Paddy!]
Whack! Paddy’s the boy.
 
[CHORUS sung after each VERSE]
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah!
 
2. There’s a three legged stool and a table to match,
And the door to the shanty is locked with a latch;
There’s a nice feather mattress all bursting with straw,
For the want of a Bedstool, it lies on the floor.
Hurrah! my honey.
[Now then boys, one for the mattress.]
Whack! Paddy’s the boy.
