GUEST,bigJ Lyr Req: Kelly Is Back In The Isle of Man (9) ADD: Kelly Is Back In The Isle of Man 05 Sep 14


Tony,
This is what I hear :-

KELLY IS BACK IN THE ISLE OF MAN

Kelly left the Isle of Man when fighting first began,
In the battle van, he went as a fighting man.
Comes the day he got demobbed and put on civvy clothes,
Though he was a private, still a general cry arose.

CHORUS: Kelly, Kelly, I'm glad to see you back,
You're looking just as larky as when you dressed in khaki.
Beware of the girls on Douglas Head, they'll catch you if they can.
K - E - double L - Y is back in the isle of Man.

Kelly felt more nervous than he did mid war's alarms
Girlies full of charms, were busy presenting arms.
He said, Sure I can't fall in, I've got a man to meet,
Then this chorus started as they cut off his retreat.

CHORUS – third line:
Beware of the girls on Onchan Head....

Kelly blushed all over and he seemed to lose his pluck,
When one dear old duck said, Kiss him all round for luck.
Through the streets poor Kelly fled before the enemy,
Half the Isle of Man behind him shouting out in glee.

CHORUS – third line
Beware of the girls in Groudle Glen....

Repeat first chorus.
