My mother kept a boarding-house
Hullabaloo belay; Hullabaloo bela belay
And all the boarders were out to sea
Hullabaloo belay!
A fresh young fellow named Shallow Brown
Hullabaloo belay; Hullabaloo bela belay
Follow'd me mother all 'round the town
Hullabaloo belay!
One day when father was on the Crown
Hullabaloo belay; Hullabaloo bela belay
Me mother ran off with Shallo Brown
Hullabaloo belay!
Me father says "Young man me boy"
Hullabaloo belay; Hullabaloo bela belay
To which I quickly made reply
Hullabaloo belay!
Me father slowly pined away
Hullabaloo belay; Hullabaloo bela belay
Because me mother came back the next day
Hullabaloo belay!
