Flanagan said to his girl, "My Dear,
Holiday time will shortly be here;

Haven't you thought where you'd like to go?
Hurry up, dear, for I want to know.

The Isle of Anglesey's all right,
or the Isle of Wight might do."

But the lady said as she hung her head,
"If it's all the same to you,"

"Flanagan,
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man again,

Take me where the folks all cry,
K E double L Y!

Flanagan,
Flanagan,
If you love your Mary Ann,

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man!"

"Flanagan,
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man again,

Take me where the folks all cry,
K E double L Y!

Flanagan,
Flanagan,
If you love your Mary Ann,

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man!"

Flanagan said, "Be advised by me,
never mind Isles in the Irish Sea,

Giddy Ostend is a place as fair,
Be a good girl, and I'll take you there,

The gay Casino's simply grand,
It's a sight that none should miss,

Only say 'Oui, oui' but she said,
"Not me! All I want to say is this."

"Flanagan,
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man again,

Take me where the folks all cry,
K E double L Y!

Flanagan,
Flanagan,
If you love your Mary Ann,

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man!"

"Flanagan,
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man again,

Take me where the folks all cry,
K E double L Y!

Flanagan,
Flanagan,
If you love your Mary Ann,

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man!"

Flanagan, who was a brilliant man,
suddenly hit on a brilliant plan,

"Couldn't we both stay at home", said he;
"Marry me dear, with the L. S. D."

The poor girl blushed a rosy red,
quite a tender spot he'd found,

said she, "Have your way, but you'll hear me say,
when the honeymoon comes round."

"Flanagan,
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man again,

Take me where the folks all cry,
K E double L Y!

Flanagan,
Flanagan,
If you love your Mary Ann,

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man!"

"Flanagan,
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man again,

Take me where the folks all cry,
K E double L Y!

Flanagan,
Flanagan,
If you love your Mary Ann,

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Flanagan,
Take me to The Isle of Man!"
