Next song is a song about a place in Dublin which was situated behind the Proverty Bridge in Dublin.
And it was one time one of the most famous red light districts in Europe.
The whole place has since been closed down by legions of Mary's or something.
Been closed down by one thing or another.
And the whole area was cut across by a famous street called Montgomery Street.
And the name of the street was shortened.
And it was called the Monto.
And this [D] was the name given to the whole area.
And the whole area was called the Monto as this song which Duke will sing is called [C] the Monto.
Well if you've got a wing, oh, take her up to Ringo
Where the waxy [G] sing, oh, all the [C] day
If you've had your [Dm] fill of [Gm] porter and you can't go any [C] farther
Give your man the [G] order back [C] to the king
And take her up to Monto, Monto, Monto
Take her up to [G] Monto, [C] Langeroo, to you
You had a bookshop [Ab] foster, the dirty [Bm] old imposter
[F] Took his mutton lorster up before [G] he got in
[Dm] He first put on his bowler, then he buttoned up his trousers
[Eb] And he whistled for a growler and he said, my [C] head
Take me up [Dm] to Monto, Monto, Montro
[C] Take me up to Monto, [G] [C] Langeroo, to you
You seen the double of [D] fusiliers, the dirty old [C] bamboosaliers
They wet and get [Dm] the children, one, [C] two, [Dm] three
Marching from the linen hall, there's one for every cannonball
Vickie's going to send you all for [E] the [C] sea
But first go up to Monto, Monto, Monto
First go up to [G] Monto, Langeroo, to you
When the Sir of Rucha and the King of Prussia
[D] Landed in the Phoenix in the [Gm] big balloon
They asked the Polish band [C] to play the wedding of the green
[Dm] But the [D] boogers in the depot [B] didn't know [Am] that tune
So they both went [F] up to [C] Monto, Monto, Monto
Both [Dm] went up to Monto, [C] Langeroo, to [Gm] you
The queen, she came to call on us, she [Ab] wanted to see all of us
And glad she [G] didn't fall, and thus she's a hidden stone
[D] Mister, me lord, master, she is the soul who brought the show to me
Why no man dares to abort the scene
Home, my [Am] home, and he can't get up to Monto, Monto, Monto
Can't [Dm] get up to Monto, [Am] Langeroo, [D] dear old [Gm] DTU
Why, it's all your fault
