DO YOU WANT YOUR OLD LOBBY WASHED DOWN?
As recorded by Brendan Shine, 1979

1. I've a nice little cot and a small bit of land in a place by the side of the sea,
And I care about no one because I believe there's nobody cares about me.
My peace is destroyed and I'm fairly annoyed by a lassie who works in the town.
She sighs ev'ry day as she passes the way: "Do you want your old lobby washed down?"

CHORUS: "Do you want your old lobby washed down, Con Shine? Do you want your old lobby washed down?"
She sighs ev'ry day as she passes the way: "Do you want your old lobby washed down?"

2. The other day the old landlord came by for his rent; I told him no money I had.
Besides 'twasn't fair for to ask me to pay; the times were so awfully bad.
He felt discontent at not getting his rent, and he shook his big head with a frown.
Says he: "I'll take half," but says I with a laugh: "Do you want your old lobby washed down?"

3. Now the boys look so bashful when they go out courting; they seem to be so very shy.
As to kiss a young maid, sure they seem half afraid, but they would if they could on the sly.
Ah, but me, I do things in a different way; I don't give a nod or a frown.
When I goes to court, I says: "Here goes for sport! Do you want your old lobby washed down?"
