Then meet me, Miss Molly Malone.
Pastry may do for the gay,
Old maids may find comfort in tea;
But there’s something about ham and beef
That agrees a deal better with me.
Remember my cupboard is bare,
Then come, if my dear life you prize,
I’d have lived the last fortnight on air,
But you sent me two nice mutton pies.
Then meet me, Miss Molly Malone.
