Me mother had a boarding house
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay
And all the boarders were out to see
Hullabaloo belay

A fresh young fellow called Shallo Brown
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay
He followed me mother all 'round the town
Hullabaloo belay

One day when father was on the Crown
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay
Me mother ran off with Shallo Brown
Hullabaloo belay

My father says, "Young man, me boy"
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay
To which he quickly made reply
Hullabaloo belay

My father slowly pined away
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay
Because me mother came back the next day
Hullabaloo belay
