WOW! i sang this in choir a long while ago, and i was looking despritely for the lyrics to this, as i could only remember the tune. So, yeah this indeed has helped alot! thanks

Happy to hae been of help. You weren't around when Jackie Gleason would sing this as Joe the Bartender during his weekly TV show. He would be wiping off the bar and while bellowing this song and then break off to say hello to an invisible (to every one but Joe) Mr. Dennahy; with whom he would have a one sided conversaton.

Thanks Fatima. It's an oldie but goodie. I have known this song for a long time but my memory is of Jackie Gleason as Joe the Bartender shouting it out before Mr. Dannahy came into the the bar. Ed
