Barney McGee there's no end of good luck in youA
Will o' the wisp with a flicker of Puck in youA
Wild as a bull pup and all of his pluck in youA
Let a man tread on your coat and he'll seeB
Eyes like the lakes of Killarney for clarityB
Nose that turns up without any vulgarityB
Smile like a cherub and hair that is carrotyB
Wow you're a rarity Barney McGeeB
Mellow as TarragonC
Prouder than AragonC
Hardly a paragonC
You will agreeB
Here's all that's fine to youA
Books and old wine to youA
Girls be divine to youA
Barney McGeeB
-
Lucky the day when I met you unwittinglyB
Dining where vagabonds came and went flittinglyB
Here's some Barbera to drink it befittinglyB
That day at Silvio's Barney McGeeB
Many's the time we have quaffed our Chianti thereD
Listened to Silvio quoting us Dante thereD
Once more to drink Nebiolo spumante thereD
How we'd pitch Pommery into the seaB
There where the gang of usE
Met ere Rome rang of usE
They had the hang of usE
To a degreeB
How they would trust to youA
That was but just to youA
Here's o'er their dust to youA
Barney McGeeB
-
Barney McGee when you're sober you scintillateB
But when you're in drink you're the pride of the intellectB
Divil a one of us ever came in till lateB
Once at the bar where you happened to beB
Every eye there like a spoke in you centeringF
You with your eloquence blarney and banteringF
All Vagabondia shouts at your enteringF
King of the Tenderloin Barney McGeeB
There's no satietyB
In your societyB
With the varietyB
Of your espritB
Here's a long purse to youA
And a great thirst to youA
Fate be no worse to youA
Barney McGeeB
-
Och and the girls whose poor hearts you deracinateB
Whirl and bewilder and flutter and fascinateB
Faith it's so killing you are you assassinateB
Murder's the word for you Barney McGeeB
Bold when they're sunny and smooth when they're showeryB
Oh but the style of you fluent and floweryB
Chesterfield's way with a touch of the BoweryB
How would they silence you Barney machreeB
Naught can your gab allayB
Learned as RabelaisE
You in his abbey layB
Once on the spreeB
Here's to the smile of youA
Oh but the guile of youA
And a long while of youA
Barney McGeeB
-
Facile with phrases of length and LatinityB
Like honorificabilitudinityB
Where is the maid could resist your vicinityB
Wiled by the impudent grace of your pleaB
Then your vivacity and pertinacityB
Carry the day with the divil's audacityB
No mere veracity robs your sagacityB
Of perspicacity Barney McGeeB
When all is new to themG
What will you do to themG
Will you be true to themG
Who shall decreeB
Here's a fair strife to youA
Health and long life to youA
And a great wife to youA
Barney McGeeB
-
Barney McGee you're the pick of gentilityB
Nothing can phase you you've such a facilityB
Nobody ever yet found your utilityB
That is the charm of you Barney McGeeB
Under conditions that others would stammer inC
Still unperturbed as a cat or a CameronC
Polished as somebody in the DecameronC
Putting the glamour on prince or PawneeC
In your meanderin'C
Love and philanderin'C
Calm as a mandarinC
Sipping his teaC
Under the art of youA
Parcel and part of youA
Here's to the heart of youA
Barney McGeeC
-
You who were ever alert to befriend a manC
You who were ever the first to defend a manC
You who had always the money to lend a manC
Down on his luck and hard up for a VC
Sure you'll be playing a harp in beatitudeC
And a quare sight you will be in that attitudeC
Some day where gratitude seems but a platitudeC
You'll find your latitude Barney McGeeC
That's no flim flam at allB
Frivol or sham at allB
Just the plain Damn it allB
Have one with meC
Here's luck and more to youA
Friends by the score to youA
True to the core to youA
Barney McGeeC
