The Murphy Bed (Gallup/Goodhart) Recorded by Pat Harrington (5/22/58--released 1958) Album: Kiss Me I'm Irish Legacy 53631 sound sample of song Oh the neighborhood is buzzin' and someone's face is red But what is O'Riley doin' in the Murphy Bed? His wife is in the kitchen and it's time that he was fed So what is O'Riley doin' in the Murphy Bed? The Murphy Bed that folds into the wall The bed went up, O'Riley went up and they never came down at all The Muprhy Bed that folds into the wall The bed went up, it better come down or he'll miss the policeman's ball Now he can't be in there sleepin' and standin' on his head So what is O'Riley doin' in the Murphy Bed? If he ain't out for breakfast, we'll know he must be dead. So what is O'Riley doin' in the Murphy Bed? The Murphy Bed, O'Riley's still inside The bed went up, O'Riley went up but he didn't go for the ride The Murphy Bed, that ain't no place to hide Come out ol' boy, O'Riley ol' boy, it is very undignified Now I know about Columbus, I know what Shakespear said But what is O'Riley doin' in the Murphy Bed? I've always solved the mystery of any book I've read But what is O'Riley doin' in the Murphy Bed? Oh the bed's on fire, we're worried now you bet Through smoke and flame the firemen came but they haven't been heard from yet The Murphy Bed, it's got us all upset He'll burn his face, that ain't no place to be smokin' a cigarette Now you'll see it in the headlines, the news has really spread But what is O'Riley doin' in the Murphy Bed? O'Leary asks O'Dooley, who asks his Uncle Ned "Say, what is O'Riley doin' in the Murphy Bed?" Oh the Murphy Bed that folds into the wall The bed went up, O'Riley went up and they didn't come down at all The Murphy Bed that folds into the wall The bed went up, it better come down, or he'll miss the policeman's ball
