[Verse 1]
Em Somebody under the bed G D Em Whoever can it be? Em I feel so very nervous G D Em I call for Joanee Em Joanee lights the candle G D Em But there's nobody there Em D Hey! Hi! Diddeleedai Em D Em And out goes she Em Skipping rope still turning G D Em Children at their play Em In and out of Clarendon Street G D Em In and out to pray Em I haven't prayed for twenty years G D Em Or sung a happy song Em D Since praying went with innocence Em D Em And the devil played along
[Chorus]
Em G And we all went up to the Mero D Em Hey there! Who's your man? Em It's only Johnny 'Forty Coats' G D Em Sure he's a desperate man Em 'Bang, bang' shoots the buses G D Em With his golden key Em D Hey! Hi! Diddeleedai Em D Em And out goes she
[Verse 2]
Em Me father was a stater G D Em And me mother loved a tan Em She loved her Hafner's sausages G D Em And her soldier fancy man Em Noel's up in Jacob's G D Em And Mary's on the town Em D And I joined the transport union Em D Em When they said my nose was brown
[Chorus]
Em G And we all went up to the Mero D Em Hey there! Who's your man? Em It's only Johnny 'Forty Coats' G D Em Sure he's a desperate man Em 'Bang, bang' shoots the buses G D Em With his golden key Em D Hey! Hi! Diddeleedai Em D Em And out goes she
[Verse 3]
Em I've a tanner for the Mero G D Em And me confo money's hid Em If Mary's in the family way G D Em She can blame the Cisco kid Em I'll be langers in the morning G D Em Me longers need a patch Em D Ah, Jesus! There's Con Martin Em D Em I hope he's won the match Em Me uncle had a wolfhound G D Em That never had to pee Em But Hairy Lemon snatched it G D Em Down on Eden quay Em Now I have me primo G D Em And me scapulars are blue Em D For helping the black babies Em D Em And Dolly Fossett too
[Chorus]
Em G And we all went up to the Mero D Em Hey there! Who's your man? Em It's only Johnny 'Forty Coats' G D Em Sure he's a desperate man Em 'Bang, bang' shoots the buses G D Em With his golden key Em D Hey! Hi! Diddeleedai Em D Em And out goes she
[Verse 4]
Em It's true that Dublin's changing G D Em Since the pillar was blown down Em By the winds of violence G D Em That are buggering up the town Em We used to solve a difference G D Em With a digging match and a jar Em D But now they're all playing bang-bang Em D Em That's going too bleeding far
[Chorus]
Em G And we all went up to the Mero D Em Hey there! Who's your man? Em It's only Johnny 'Forty Coats' G D Em Sure he's a desperate man Em There's no use bleedin' rushing G D Em For now is the holy hour Em D A plenary indulgence Em D Em And another baby Power
