O'Brien Has No Place To Go

Now, Dennis O’Brien had three daughters fine
The fairest young girls on the block
And between you and me, every night after tea
To O’Brien’s, the boys they would flock
When young Mickey Clancy steps in to Nancy
Tim McCarthy steps in to see Rose
And when young Mickey Kelly steps in to see Nell
With a plea to her father, she goes
«Don't go into the front room, dad, Nancy’s in there with her caller»
«Daddy, dear, won’t you stay out here, Rose has her friend in the parlour»
«Don't go into the kitchen, dad, I’ll be out there with my beau»
And since all of his girls have got steady, young men, sure O’Brien has no
place to go
Last Saturday night, O’Brien got tight
And said to himself, «Now, we’ll see»
That if three younger louts, dressed up in zoot suits
Make a wanderin' Jew out of me
Out went McCann and O’Brien’s brogan
Mickey Kelly and Clancy felt sore
They went over the stoop like an acrobat’s troop
And O’Brien will hear this no more
«Don't go into the front room, dad, Nancy’s in there with her caller»
«Daddy, dear, won’t you stay out here, Rose has her friend in the parlour»
«Don't go into the kitchen, dad, I’ll be out there with my beau»
And since all of his girls have got steady, young men, sure O’Brien has no
place to go
