Courtin' In The Kitchen
Come single belle and beau, unto me pay attention
Don't ever fall in love, for it's the devil's own invention
For once I fell in love with a maiden so bewitching
Miss Henrietta Bell out in Captain Kelly's kitchen
With me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
And me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
At the age of seventeen I was 'prenticed to a grocer
Not far from Stephen's Green where Miss Henri' used to go sir
Her manners were sublime and she set me heart a-twitchin'
When she invited me to a hooley in the kitchen
With me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
And me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
Oh, next Sunday bein' the day that we were to have the flare-up
I dressed meself quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up
The Captain had no wife and he had gone a-fishin'
And we kicked up high life down below stairs in the kitchen
With me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
And me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
With her arm around me waist, she slyly hinted marriage
To the door in dreadful haste came Captain Kelly's carriage
Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin'
When the Captain at the door, walked right into the kitchen
With me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
And me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
When the Captain came downstairs, though he saw me situation
In despite of all me prayers I was marched off to the station
For me they'd take no bail, but to get home I was itchin'
And I had to tell the tale, how I came into the kitchen
With me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
And me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
Now, I said she did invite me, but she gave a flat denial
For assault she did indict me, and I was sent for trial
She swore I robbed the house and in spite of all her schreechin'
And I got six months hard for me courtin' in the kitchen
With me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
And me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
Namorando na Cozinha
Venham, moças e rapazes, prestem atenção em mim
Nunca se apaixonem, pois é invenção do capeta
Uma vez eu me apaixonei por uma moça tão encantadora
A senhorita Henrietta Bell na cozinha do Capitão Kelly
Com meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
E meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
Aos dezessete anos, fui aprendiz de um mercadinho
Não muito longe de Stephen's Green, onde a senhorita Henri' costumava ir, senhor
Seus modos eram sublimes e meu coração ficou agitado
Quando ela me convidou para uma festa na cozinha
Com meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
E meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
Ah, no próximo domingo seria o dia da confusão
Me vesti bem alegre e arrumei meu cabelo com pomada
O Capitão não tinha esposa e tinha ido pescar
E nós fizemos a festa lá embaixo, na cozinha
Com meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
E meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
Com o braço dela em volta da minha cintura, ela insinuou casamento
A porta se abriu com pressa, era a carruagem do Capitão Kelly
Seus olhos estavam cheios de ódio e veneno ela cuspia
Quando o Capitão na porta entrou direto na cozinha
Com meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
E meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
Quando o Capitão desceu, mesmo vendo minha situação
Apesar de todas as minhas súplicas, fui levado para a delegacia
Para mim não aceitaram fiança, mas eu queria voltar pra casa
E tive que contar a história de como fui parar na cozinha
Com meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
E meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
Agora, eu disse que ela me convidou, mas ela negou na hora
Por agressão ela me acusou e fui mandado a julgamento
Ela jurou que eu roubei a casa e apesar de todo o seu grito
E eu peguei seis meses de cana por namorar na cozinha
Com meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
E meu toora loora lá e meu toora loora lad
