FI met with Napper Tandy

And I shook him by the hand

 He said "A♯Hold me up for FChrissake

 For CI can hardly Fstand"

 The A♯most disgraceful Fjourney

 On which CI've ever Fbeen

 The A♯last time that I Ftravelled on

 The CBoat Train

 I Fhad a couple of drinks in town

A few more at the port

 I A♯puked up on the Fgangway

 But some Ckind folks helped me Fboard

 They A♯helped me to a Ftable

 Poured Cwhiskey down my Fthroat

 They A♯sat me at a Ftable

 And I Clost my watch and coat

A♯First we drank some Fwhiskey

A♯Then we drank some Fgin

A♯Then we drank Ftequila

 I think Dmthat's what did me Cin

A♯Then we drank some Fbrandy

 And the A♯women had a Fdance

 The A♯steward then anFnounced

 That we could Dmplay the game of "Cchance"

 We Fcrowded round the table

With our money in our hands

 I A♯ended up on the Fother side

 Without a Cpenny in my Fpants

 I A♯woke up in the Ftoilet

 When we Cgot to HolyFhead

 The A♯doors were all a-Fbanging

 And I Cwished that I was dead

A♯Then we went through Fcustoms

A♯With a couple of crazy Fthugs

A♯First they looked for Fbombs and joints

DmThen they looked for Cdrugs

A♯Stuck a flashlight Fup my ass

A♯Told some Irish Fjokes

A♯Said "Fuck off now, FPaddy"

 So I Dmheaded for [The S]Cmoke

 I Emet with Napper Tandy and I Ashook him by the Ehand

 He said Ahold me up for EChrist sake for BI can hardly Estand

 The Amost disgraceful Ejourney on Bthat I've ever Ebeen

 The Alast time that I Etravelled on the BBoat Train

I had a couple of drinks in town and a few more at the port

I puked up on the gangway but some kind folks helped me board

They sat me at a table poured whiskey down my throat

They sat me at a table and I lost my watch and coat

AFirst we drank some Ewhiskey Athen we drank some Egin

AThen we drank teEquila I think Athat's what did me Bin

AThen we drank some Ebrandy and the Awomen had a Edance

 The Asteward then anEnounced that we could Bplay the game of chance

We crowded round the table with our money in our hands

I ended up on the other side without a penny in my pants

I woke up in the toilet when we got to Holyhead

The doors were all a-banging and I wished that I was dead

Then it was the customs they called their bloody dogs

First they went for booze of course then they looked for drugs

Stabbed a flashlight up my ass told us all their jokes

Sid fell over paddy so I've had it for the smoke on the Boat Train

We got on board the train and then we had a drink or two

Started playing poker but the booze ran out at Crewe

Some people started sleeping others looked for duty free

Some bastard started singing the little cottage by the Lee

He then sang Paper Roses Boolavogue Eileen Aru

Somebody started slagging off the Pakis and the Jews

First I found some whiskey then I found some gin

I sat down in the corner and I read the Daily News

First I drank the whiskey then I drank the gin

I tried to make the toilet and I broke my fucking shin

Next thing that I knew I was in London in the rain

Staggering up the platform off the Boat Train
