Mr Gallagher And Mr Shean 1922 'Ziegfeld's Follies'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 17 Sep 2004

There are two funny men,
the best I've ever seen:
One is Mr. Gallagher,
the other Mr. Shean,
when these two cronies meet
it surely is a treat,
the things they say,
and the things they do,
and the funny way they greet.

Oh! Mr. Gallagher Oh! Mr. Gallagher
Hello what's on your mind
this morning Mr. Shean.
Everybody's making fun
of the way our country's run,
all the papers say we'll soon live European
Why, Mr. Shean Why! Mr. Shean
On the day they took away our old canteen
cost of living went so high,
that it's cheaper now to die..
Positively Mr. Gallagher,
absolutely Mr. Shean.

Oh! Mr. Gallagher Oh! Mr. Gallagher
If you're a friend of mine,
you'll lend me a couple of bucks.
I'm so broke and badly bent
and I haven't got a cent
I'm so clean you'd think
that I was washed with Lux.
Oh! Mr. Shean Oh! Mr. Shean
Do you mean to say
you haven't got a bean;
on my word as I'm alive,
I intended touching you for five,
Oh I thank you Mr. Gallagher,
you are welcome Mr. Shean.

Oh! Mr. Gallagher Oh! Mr. 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've made this girl your wife.
Oh! Mr. Shean Oh! Mr. Shean
as she sunk I dove down like a submarine
dragged her up upon the shore,
now she's mine for ever more,
who the lady Mr. Gallagher,
no the rowboat, Mr. Shean.

Oh! Mr. Gallagher Oh! Mr. Gallagher
What's the name of that game
they play on the links.
With a stick they knock the ball
where you can't find it at all
then the caddie walks around
and thinks and thinks.
Oh! Mr. Shean Oh! Mr. Shean
You don't even know a hazard from a green;
it's become a popular game,
and you don't even know its name,
sure it's croquette Mr. Gallagher,
no lawn tennis Mr. Shean.
