Subject: Lyr Req: Hooligans
Does anyone have a set of words for a music hall song of the 1890s which contains the lines "oh the hooligans!, oh the hooligans! always on the riot, cannot keep them quiet"

The song is quoted by Geoffrey Pearson in his book "hooligan: a history of repsectable fears". He attributes it to the Irsih comedians O'Connor and Brady.
