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?"


Cheers Bill

Can anyone add some info as to when where and why this song was written? It sounds like a music-hall number to me. By coincidence, I brought home Jimmy Crowley's CD 'Uncorked!', which includes this song, from my holiday trip and found this thread on getting back here. BTW, the CD is a live recording and well worth the money (which is more than I can say of some other purchases).
