[Faísca]

Do you want your Old Lobby Washed Down?

I’ve a nice little cot and a small bit of land and a place by the side of sea.
And I care about no one because I believe there’s nobody cares about me.
My peace is destroyed and I’m fairly annoyed, by a lassie who works in the town. She sighs ev’ry day as she passes the way, ‘do you want your old lobby washed down?’

Chorus: Do you want your old lobby washed down,
Con Shine, do you want your old lobby washed down?
She sighs ev’ry day as she passes the way -
‘Do you want your old lobby washed down?

The other day the old landlord came by for his rent -
I told him no money I had.
Besides ‘twasn’t fair to ask me to pay, the times were so awfully bad.
He felt discontent at not getting his rent, and he shook his big head in a frown.
Says he ‘I’ll take half.’ ‘But’ says I with a laugh
‘Do you want your old lobby washed down?’

Now the boys look so bashful when they go out courtin’s,
they seem to look so very shy.
As to kiss a young maid, sure they seem half afraid,
but they would if they could on the sly.
But me I do things in a different way, I don’t give a nod or a frown.
When I goes to court I says ‘Here goes for sport,
Do you want your old lobby washed down?’
