My home computer doesn't play videos well either, so today I stayed late at work to transcribe this one. See the link posted by Joe above.
OH NO (THE FRYING PAN SONG) As sung by The Fureys
1. Well, I went for a drink last Friday night, had a beer with my dear old dad. I had a laugh with Rose the barmaid and a few pints with the lads. There was a sign in the pub said, "We do good grub," so I asked, "What's on the grille?" "Well, you can have what you like," said Rosie. "Just put a fiver in the till."
2. Well, the night grew long and we all sang a song and stories tall were told, And it was four o'clock in the morning when we stepped out in the cold. I couldn't find the lock, so I had to knock, and I prayed she'd let me in. You should have heard her roar when she opened the door: "Just where do you think you've been?"
CHORUS: (Oh, no!) I didn't see it coming. (Oh, no!) She took me by surprise. (Oh, no!) I didn't see it coming. She got me right between the eyes. (Oh, no!) She caught me with a cracker. (Oh, no!) She's got a great right hand. (Oh, no!) She gave me such a smacker with a well-used frying pan.
3. Now, on Saturday the pain went away. It left my eyes all black and blue. So I drink to forget with Rosie. It seemed the only thing to do. I had a glass in my hand. I was feeling grand with Rosie sitting on my knee. But then I heard a crash and it passed like a flash. You can guess who was next to me.
CHORUS 3 TIMES. LAST CHORUS ENDS: (Oh, no!) She gave me such a smacker with a great big … it was a greasy … it was a well-used frying pan.
