Hi, Alison-
Nice to see you around these parts again. I found out the song is called Oh No! (The Frying Pan Song), and it's on a CD titled At Home in Ireland, and also on Thru The Eyes Of An Irishman.
Apparently, there's a YouTube recording of the song here (click), but my connection isn't fast enough for YouTube.
If you find it, please post it.

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.

There was a song by Ray Petersen in the 1960s titled " Oh No"

It starts of:

Did she ever tell you 'bout Joe ( Oh No )
Don't you know that she loves him so ( Oh No)

We will sing it one night at Cursed Old Toongabbie
