Chasing Mrs. Jones. From Dublin to Brooklyn, parts in between

lyrics

THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT

They mis-delivered 60 tons of beer & corned beef hash
To Paddy Maloney’s 87th birthday bash
Should’ve gone to Gortahork but the driver went the wrong way
With enough to feed Dún Laoghaire and west Dublin for a day

Arm-in-arm with Mrs Jones I was the whole day thru
But the fly in the ointment was she tipped her hat to you
Stepping out in Dublin/squeezing all the boys
Her old man played the fool, now she’s in Poolbeg making noise

Went to California to fill Leo Kottke’s shoes
But the fly in the ointment was the battle with the booze
One more Jameson’s whisky/a little more coke & rum
Now I’m on the east coast, struggling in the scrum

Arm-in-arm with Mrs Jones I was the whole day thru
But the fly in the ointment was she tipped her hat to you
Stepping out in Brooklyn/squeezing all the boys
Her old man played the fool, now she’s uptown making noise
