The Crack Was Ninety In The Isle Of Man Lyrics

The Crack Was Ninety In The Isle Of ManAh weren't we the rare old stock, spent the evening getting lockedIn the Ace of Hearts, where the high stools were engagingOver be the Butt Bridge, down be the dock, the boat she sailed at 5 o'clock"Ah hurry now lads" says Whack, "Or before we're there sure we'll all be back"Carry him if you canOh the crack was ninety in the Isle of ManBefore we reached the Alexander Base, the ding-dong we did surely raiseIn the bar of the boat, had great sport, as the ship she sailed out from the portLanded up in the Douglas Head, enquiring for a vacant bedTo the dining room soon got shown, by a decent woman from up the roadBate that if you canOh the crack was ninety in the Isle of ManNext morning went for a ramble round, for to see the sights of Douglas TownAll went in for a mighty session, in a pub they call Dick Darby'sAll got drunk be half past three, to sober up we went swimming in the seaBack to the digs for the spruce up, while waiting for the rosieWe all drew up our planOh the crack was ninety in the Isle of ManThat night we went to the Texas Bar, we came back down be horse and carMet Big Jim and we all went in, to drink some wine in Yeats'sThe Liverpool girls, it was said, were all to be met in the Douglas HeadMcShane was there in a tie and shirt, the foreign he was trying to flirtSaying, "Here girls I'm your man"Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of ManWhacker fancied his good looks, with an Isle of Man woman he was struckLiverpool lad was by her side, and he pegging the jar in to herWhacker thought he'd take a change, he asked the quare wan out to danceRound the floor they stepped it out, to Whack it was no botherEverything was going to planOh the crack was ninety in the Isle of ManWell the Isle of Man woman fancied Whack, but your man stood there till his heads came backAnd whack they all whacked into Whack, poor Whack was landed on his backThe Douglas force arrived as well, landed a couple belts as wellEnded up in the Douglas Jail, until the Dublin boat did sailDeported every manOh the crack was ninety in the Isle of ManYes the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
