Courtin' in the Kitchen (a humorous on Irish song, sung by Eddie Biggins)

Courtin' in the Kitchen (traditional) Come single belle and beau unto me pay attention Don't ever fall in love it's the Devil's own invention For once I fell in love with a maiden so bewitchin' Miss Henrietta Bell out of Captain Kelly's kitchen CHORUS With me too-ra-loo-ra-la, me too-ra-loo-ra-laddie Me too-ra-loo-ra-la, too-ra-loo-ra-laddie At the age of seventeen I was 'prenticed to a grocer Not far from Steven's Green where Miss Henry used to go sir Her manners were sublime, she set me heart a twitchin' And she invited me to a hooley in the kitchen... Chorus Next Sunday being the day we were to have the flare up I dressed meself quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up The Captain had no wife and he had gone a fishin' And we kicked up high down below stairs in the kitchen... Chorus Just as the clock struck six we sat down to the table She handed tay and cake and I ate while I was able I drank hot punch and tay till me side had got to stitchin' And the hours passed quick awa
