[Verse 1]
[Am]Have[Dm] you[F][G][Dm][G]
[C]heard
of Phil the Flute?
They're from the [F]town of Ballymuck.
The [C]times were going [Am]hard for him,
in fact the man was [G]broke.
So he [C]sent an invitation to his [F]neighbours,
one and all,
[G]As to [C]how he'd [G]like their [Am]company
that [Dm]evening [G]at a [C]ball.
And when writing out,
[Am]he was careful to suggest to t[C]hem
That if they found a [G]hat of
his convenient [D]to the [G]door,
The [C]more they put [G]in,
whenev[Am]er he requested th[C]em,
And the better would the [Am]mu sic be
for battering [C]the [G]floor
With [C]the toot on the flute
and the [F]twiddle on the [C]fiddle -o
Hopping in the [Am]middle
like a heron [C]on the [G]griddle -o
Up[C], down, hands around
and [F]crossing to the [F#dim]wall
Oh, [C]and with the [Am]gaity
[G]it filled the flutter's [C]ball[Am][G]
[C]There was Mr Dennis Daugherty
who [F]kept the running [C]dog
[G]There was [F#dim]Licky, Crook and Ha[C]ndy
from the [G]Terrylocket Bog
There were [C]boys from every barony
and [F]girls from every [F#dim]art
And the [C]beautiful Miss [Am]Brady's
[A]in a private [G]-assin' [C]cart
Along with [Bb]them came
[C]Bouncin' Mrs. Cafferty
Little Nicky [G]Mulligan
was [D]also to the [G]fore
[C]Rose Cez[G]anne and [Am]Margaret Raf[C]ferty
[Am]The [C]flower of Arden -a -Gullion
and the bride of Fetcher[G]more
With the [C]toot on the flute
and the [F]tweedle on the [C]fiddle -o
Hoppin' in [Am]the middle
like a heron on the [G]griddle -o
Up[C], down, hands around
and [F]crossin' to the [F#dim]wall
Oh [C]hadn't [Am]we the gaiety,
it [Dm]filled the [G]flutter's [C]ball[Am][Dm][G]
[C]First little Mickey Mulligan
got [F]up to show them [C]how
And then the witty [Am]Caf ferty
steps [D]up to take her [G]bow
I'll [C]dance you off your feet
till she as[F]sures you were [F#dim]born
If you'll [C]only make the [F]piper
[Am]play the [Dm]hare was [G]in the [C]corn
So Phil plays [G]up to the
[Am]be st of his abili[C]ty
The ladies and the [G]gentlemen
be[D]gin to do their [G]share
[C]Faith and [G]Mick, tis [Am]you that has agility
[C]Figaro, Mrs Cafferty,
you're limping like a [G]hare
With the [C]toot on the flute
and the [F]twiddle on the [C]fiddle -o
Hoppin' in [Am]the middle
like a heron on the [G]griddle -o
Up[C], down, hands around
and [F]crossin' to the [C]wall
And with a [Am]giddy [G]it [Dm]filled the [G]flutist's [C]ball
With a [D]toot on the flute
and a [G]twiddle [A]on the [D]fiddle -o
Hoppin' in the [Bm]middle
like a heron on the [A]griddle -o
Up[D], down, hands around
and [G]crossin' to the [D]wall
And with [Bm]a giddy [A]it filled the
flutist's [D]ball
With a toot on the flute
and a [G]twiddle [A]on the [D]fiddle -o
Hoppin' in [Bm]the middle
like a heron [D]on the [A]griddle -o
Up[D], down, hands around,
[G]across and to the [Abdim]wall
Sure [D]hadn't we the [Bm]gaiety
at [E]Filbert's [A]Looters' [Bm]Ball?[A][D]
