Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder - Bing Crosby, The Jesters, Bob Haggart Orchestra

Oh the Murphy’s gave a party just about a week ago

Everything was plentiful, the Murphy’s they’re not slow

They treated us like gentlemen, we tried to act the same

But only for what happened, well it was an awful shame

When Mrs. Murphy dished the chowder out

She fainted on the spot

She found a pair of overalls

In the bottom of the pot

Tim Nolan he got rippin' mad

His eyes were bulgin' out

He jumped up on the PI-A-NO

And loudly he did shout

Oh, who threw the overalls in Mrs Murphy’s chowder

Nobody spoke, so he shouted all the louder

It’s an Irish trick that’s true

I can lick the mick that threw

The overalls in Mrs Murphy’s chowder

So we dragged the pants from out the soup and laid them on the floor

Each man swore upon his breast he’d ne’er seen them before

They were plastered up with mortar and were worn out at the knee

They’d had their many ups and downs as we could plainly see

when Mrs Murphy she came to she began to cry and pout

She’d had them in the wash that day and forgot to take them out

Tim Nolan he excused himself for what he’d said that night

so we put music to the words and sang with all our might

Oh, who threw the overalls in Mrs Murphy’s chowder

Nobody spoke so we shouted all the louder

It’s an Irish trick that’s true

I can lick the mick that threw

The overalls in Mrs Murphy’s chowder
