Rose O'Day 1941 'The Filla-Gusha Song'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 28 May 2003

Johnny McCarthy loved Rosie O'Day,
she was the prettiest thing.
And ev'ry night in his sweet Irish way,
under her window he'd sing:

Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtodeay!
Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtodeay!
You're daring, you're darling, you're lovely,
That's what I mean when I say,
Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtode,
Boomtode, Boomtode, Boomtodeay!

Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtodeay!
Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtodeay!
You're daring, you're darling, you're lovely,
That's what I mean when I say,
Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtode,
Boomtode, Boomtode, Boomtodeay!

Nan Moriarity, Sue Donahue,
Mary Malone and the rest,
all want his favors
but what does he do?
Sing to the one he loves best:

Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtodeay!
Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtodeay!
You're daring, you're darling, you're lovely,
That's what I mean when I say,
Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtode,
Boomtode, Boomtode, Boomtodeay!

Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtodeay!
Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtodeay!
You're daring, you're darling, you're lovely,
That's what I mean when I say,
Rose O'Day, Rose O'Day,
You're my fillagadusha, shinamaroosha,
baldaralda, Boomtode,
Boomtode, Boomtode, Boomtodeay!
