Berlin Irving Miscellaneous Abie Sings An Irish Song (15 May 1913) [1st verse:] In an Irish neighborhood Abie kept a clothing store But business wasn't good No one came into the store and Abe wondered why But soon winked his eye Then bought up ev'ry Irish song that he could buy In an hour and a half Someone taught him how to sing the Irish songs somehow He learned them all with ease Them Irish melodies He knows them all by heart and now [chorus:] When an Irishman looks in the window Abie sings an Irish song When a suit of clothes he sells He turns around and yells "By Killarney's lakes and dells" Any time an Irish customer comes in the place Thinking that it's owned by someone of the Irish race If he looks at Abie with a doubt upon his face Abie sings an Irish song [2nd verse:] Ev'ry morning Abie goes Through the store a-singing "Where the River Shannon flows" Business it is bringing and he knows what is best He don't take a rest He sings "Killarney" when he sells a coat and vest Any time he gets a cold Down his throat a bunch of fancy cough drops he will push When anyone is near He sings "Acushla Dear" With emphasis upon the "cush" [2nd chorus:] When an Irishman looks in the window Abie sings an Irish song When a suit of clothes he sells He turns around and yells "By Killarney's lakes and dells" Any time an Irishman comes in to pick a bone If he looks at Abie and hollers in an angry tone "I would like to wrestle with a Levi or a Cohn" Abie sings an Irish song |
