VERSES
S--Oh, Mister Gallagher. Oh, Mister Gallagher
It's a long time now yet since you went away
You and I have been such pals,
especially with the gals
and we missed you, oh we missed you every day

G--Oh Mister Shean. Oh Mister Shean!
I've been away to school, that's why I've not been seen
The school taught Memory
and I took the first degree.
S--Name the school please Mister Gallagher.
G--I forget it Mister Shean!
S--Oh, Mister Gallagher! Oh, Mister Gallagher!
G--Hello, what's on your mind this morning, Mister Shean?
S--Everybody's making fun
of the way our country's run.
All the papers say we'll soon live European.

G--Why, Mister Shean. Why, Mister Shean!
On the day they took away our old canteen,
cost of living went so high,
that it's cheaper now to die.
S--Oh, that's silly Mister Gallagher!
G--Absolutely, Mister Shean!
S--Oh Mister Gallagher! Oh, Mister Gallagher!
Once I think I saw you save a lady's life!
In a rowboat out to sea,
You were a hero then to me,
And I thought perhaps you'd make this girl your wife!

G--Oh, Mister Shean! Oh, Mister Shean!
As she sunk I dove down like a submarine!
Dragged her up upon the shore,
Now she's mine for evermore!
S--Who, the lady Mister Gallagher?
G--No! The rowboat, Mister Shean!

S--Oh, Mister Gallagher, Oh, Mister Gallagher
In New York the girls wear such alluring styles
At 42nd and Broadway
You could find me every day
I used to follow them for miles and miles

G--Oh, Mister Shean, Oh Mister Shean
Here in Egypt they have styles I've never seen;
All up and down the Nile
the girls wear nothing but a smile.
S--That's why I'm here, Mister Gallagher!
G--That's why I'm here, Mister Shean!

Auf Wiedersehen, Mister Gallagher!
Top of the Morning, Mister Shean!
