Lyrics
1. Six-a months ago
Then my-a Sist’ you know
Marries a one first-a class brick lay
And when dey was hitch-a he was feelin’ rich-a
‘Cause it was on his pay day
Say de Sist-a she sure look cute
Him he-a hire one swell dresssuit
Says, “fars you like-a boys
I’m no pike-a boys” guess he ain’t one beaut
CHORUS
He’s my Brudda-in-law
He’s a Irish all right through
First names Red-a joost-a like his head
He’s a politics too
Comes from Tammany Hall
Best-a spend-a what I saw
Beer he bought by the quart
He’s no piece-a tin horn sport
Dat’s-a him, My Brudda-in-law
2. In his house last week-a
To my Sist’ I speak-a
Guess he no like-a dat so much
He was treat me strang-a
‘Cause I ask loose chang-a
It was what you call a touch
Den he Says “Joost-a look here Wop
All dis monkey biz got to stop
You quit your sist-a quick
Swing his fist-a quick
I go like this flop
