The Dubliners - The Crack Was Ninety in the Isle of Man lyrics

Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man Well weren't we the rare oul stock Spent the evenin' gettin' locked In the Ace O' Hearts where the high stools were engaging Over the bu*te Bridge, down by the dock, The boat she sailed at five o'clock. 'Ah hurry on', said Whack, 'Or before we're there we'll all be back Carry him if you can' Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. Before we reached the Alexander Base The ding dong we did surely raise In the bar of the ship, had great sport As the boat she sailed out of the port Landed up in the Douglas Head Enquiring for a vacant bed The dining room we soon got shown By a decent looking woman Saying 'Lads ate up if you can.' Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. Next morning we went for a ramble round Viewed the sights of Douglas Town Ended up in a mighty session In a pub they call d*** Darby's. We all got drunk by half past three To sober up we went swimmin' in the sea Back to the digs for the spruce up While waitin' for the Rosie, we all drew up our plan. Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. That night we went to the Texas Bar, Came back down by horse and car Met Big Jim and all went in To drink some wine in Yates' The Liverpool girls it was said Were all to be found in the Douglas Head. McShane was there in tie and shirt. The foreign queer was tryin' to flirt. Sayin', 'Hey, girls, I'm your man.' Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. Whacker fancied his good looks On the Isle of Man woman he was struck The Liverpool lad was by her side and, And he threw the jars into her. Whacker thought he'd take a chance He asked the quare one out to dance Around the floor they rocked and rolled To Whack it was no bother Everythin' was goin' to plan. Oh The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack Your man stood there till his mates came back Whack! They all whacked into Whack Whack was landed on his back. The police force arrived as well, Banjoed a couple of them as well Landed up in the Douglas gaol 'Til the Dublin boat did sail, Deported every man. Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man.
