[Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Timothy Murphy kept the pledge for [G] nearly [Dm] fourteen years,
But Christmas [Bb] Eve he felt so [G] bad he got out [C] on the bear.
[Dm] Oh, he came home like a roaring lion, filled [C] up with [Dm] rum and gin,
For he's like [Gm] a Bengal tiger [G] when he gets a [Dm] mouthful in.
_ _ _ He caught a porsche for half a mile that came in Murphy's sight,
For felt his [Bb] hot nip looters [G] when he let it [C] out at night.
[Dm] And sashes toppled round the floor, and [C] cats at [Dm] doors did scream,
For they knew their [Bb] time on earth was [G] short when [C] Timothy [Dm] rolled the cake.
[F] He broke lamps and cups and [C] cracked [F] everywhere, and pots and [C] sewed trees.
[Dm] He ate [Bb] everything that was in the [G] house, big sets of [C] boiled gravies.
[F] Now there's not a sound laying in the block of [Am] Murphy's heavy sledge,
[Dm] And the town is [Bb] all in crutches [G] now since [C] Murphy [Dm] broke the pledge. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ If Murphy don't get thirty days, and I hope and pray he will,
There'll be humps and [Bb]
undertakers, [G] bags from all the [C] crowds he'll kill,
[Dm] And the beaver hats they won't hold up to bury all the dead.
If Timothy [Bb] ties his braces [G] round the pave the [F] city red,
He broke lamps and [C] cups and cracked [F] everywhere, and pots and [C] sewed trees.
[Dm] He ate everything that was in the [G] house, big sets of [C] boiled gravies.
[F] Now there's not a [C] sound laying in the [F] block of [C] Murphy's heavy sledge,
[Dm] And the town is [Bb] all in crutches [G] now since Murphy [Dm] broke the pledge. _ _ _

_ _ The neighbourhood is underneath, and [C] [Dm] meditation deep,
In hopes he'll [Bb] get the summer through, [G] the iron [C] bars that beat.
[Dm] For if not we'll go to Navy's in the [G] bleak, or [Dm] smug about,
Or a tuna [Gm] face, a [G] unicorn, let Murphy [Dm] weigh the load.
[F] He broke lamps and [C] cups and cracked [F] everywhere, and pots and [C] sewed trees.
[Dm] He ate [Bb] everything that was in the [G] house, big sets of [C] boiled gravies.
[F] Now there's not a [C] sound laying in the [F] block of Murphy's [C] heavy sledge,
[Dm] And the town is [Bb] all in crutches [G] now since Murphy [Dm] broke the pledge.
He broke lamps and [C] cups and cracked everywhere, [F] and pots and [C] sewed trees.
[Dm] He ate everything [Bb] that was in the [G] house, big sets of [C] boiled gravies.
[F] Now there's not a sound laying [C] in the [F] block of Murphy's [C] heavy sledge,
[Dm] And the town is [Bb] all encrunched [G] now since Murphy [Dm] broke the pledge
