lyrics

Mr O’Malley he knows all the locals
He knows all the pretty girls, gives them the eye.
He’s always well dressed and he’s always well spoken,
Walks with a cane and he wears a bow tie.

Mr O’Malley he once lived in London.
He’s seen all the bright lights and he’ll tell you how
He once met the Queen down at Buckingham Palace.
She gave him a medal, and of it he’s proud

His house it is spotless except for the bedroom.
It’s never been touched since his wife passed away.
He says that she’s gone to see friends down in Oxford,
Sure she’ll be home in a couple of days.

Mr O’Malley he likes to go dancing
He always buys tickets, but he won’t go alone
He gives them to friends, he says he doesn’t need them
They’ll only be wasted, the wife’s not yet home

Mr O’Malley he eats at the station
He sits in the restaurant at a table for two
He books it for ten, but he never starts eating
Until he is certain the last train is through.

Then he smiles at the waitress, says “Maybe tomorrow.
I’m sure that she’s busy, there’s so much to do”.
Picks up his coat, gets his cane, pays his bill
Then wanders off home alone, says that “I’ll see her tomorrow.

I’m sure that I will”

Mr O’Malley he knows all the locals
He knows all the pretty girsl, gives them the eye
He’s always well dressed and he’s always well spoken
Walks with a cane and he wears a bow tie.
