Monto Lyrics - Dubliners

Oh if you've got a wingo, take her up to Ringo 

Where the waxies sing-o all the day. 

If you've had your fill of porter and you can't go any 

Further 

Just give your men the order, "Back to the quay" 

And take her up to Monto, Monto, Monto 

Take her up to Monto langeroo! To you 

Well you've heard of Butcher Foster, the dirty old 

Imposter 

He took his mot and lost her up in Furry Glen 

He first put on his bowler, then he buttoned up his 

Trousers 

And he whistled for a growler and he said "My men" 

And take me up to Monto, Monto, Monto 

Take me up to Monto langeroo! To you 

Well you've heard of the Dublin Fusiliers, the dirty 

Old bamboozaliers 

They went and got the childer, one, two, three 

Marchin' from the Linen Hall, there's one for every 

Cannon ball 

And Vicky's goin' to send youse all o'er the sea 

But First go up to Monto, Monto, Monto 

First go up to Monto langeroo! To you 

Well Carry told him, "Skin the goat"; O'Donnell put him 

On the boat 

He never should have been afloat, the dirty skite 

It wasn't very sensible to tell on the Invincibles 

They stood up for the principals, day and night 

They're goin' up to Monto, Monto, Monto 

Goin' up to Monto langeroo! To you 

Now the czar of Russia, and the king of Prussia 

Landed in the Phoenix in a big balloon 

They asked the Police band to play the "The wearin' o' 

The Green" 

But the buggers in the depot didn't know the tune 

So they all went up to Monto, Monto, Monto 

They all went up to Monto langeroo! To you 

The Queen she came to call on us, she wanted to see all 

Of us, 

I'm glad she didn't fall on us, she's eighteen stone 

Well "Mr. Neill, Lord Mayor", says she, "Is this all 

You've got to show to me?" 

"why no ma'am, there's some more to see ? p?g mo thoin 

And he took her up to Monto, Monto, Monto 

He took her up to Monto, langeroo! To you 

Well if you've got a wingo, take her up to Ringo 

Where the waxies sing-o all the day. 

If you've had your fill of porter and you can't go any 

Further 

Just give your men the order, "Back to the quay" 

And take her up to Monto, Monto, Monto 

Take her up to Monto langeroo! To you
