Lyrics
Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Come on, weren't we the rare oul' stock
Spent the evening getting' locked
In the Ace O' Hearts where the high stools were engaging
Over the Butt Bridge down by the dock
The boat she sailed at five o' clock
Hurry on lads says whack or before we're there we'll all be back
Carry him if you can oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Before we reached the Alexander Base
A hell over ding dong we did raise
In the bar of the ship had great sport
As the boat she sailed out from the port
Landed up in the Douglas Head enquiring for a vacant bed
To the dining room were shown by a decent working woman
Sayin' that's ate that if you can oh
the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Next morning went for a ramble round
Saw the sights of Douglas Town
And end up in a mighty session
In a pub they called Dick Darbies
We all got drunk by half past three
To sober up went swimming in the sea
Back to the digs for a spruce up and while waiting for the Rosie
We all drew up our plan oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
That night we went to the Texas Bar
Came back down by horse and car
Met Big Jim and all went in to drink some wine in Yates
The Liverpool girls it was said
were all to be found in the Douglas Head
McShane was there in a tie and shirt
The foreign girls he was trying to flirt
Sayin' here girls I'm your man oh
the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Well Whacker fancied his good looks
With an Isle of Man woman he was struck
A Liverpool lad was by her side and he throwin' the jar into her
Whacker thought he'd take a chance
He asked the quare one out to dance
Around the floor they rock and roll to Whack it was no bother
Everything was goin' to plan oh the
craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Well the Isle of man woman fancied Whack
Your man stood there till his mates came back
Whack they all whacked into Whack
And Whack was landed on his back
The police force arrived as well banjoed a couple of them as well
Landed up in the Douglas jail until that Dublin boat did sail
Deported every man
Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
Ha yes the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man, wooh
