Anyway, this next song, ladies and gentlemen, is about a part of Dublin, a very famous part, once written about by James Joyce.
James Joyce called it Night Town.
This place was right behind the main street in O'Connell Street in Dublin.
The whole area [D] was a very famous red
No, no, [F] you're wrong again.
No, it was a very famous red light area in Dublin.
There you are, you have it now.
Anyway, it's since been closed down by the [N] legions of something or other.
The whole area was cut across by a street called Montgomery Street, and they shortened it.
The name of the area was the same as the name of the song, [E] Monto.
[G#] [C#]
[G#]
[C#] Well, if you've got a wing-o, take her up to Ring-o, where the wagsie sing [A#]-o [F] all the day.
If you've had your fill of porter and you can't go any further, [C#] give your man the order,
back to the quay, and take her up to Monto, Monto, Monto, take [G#] her up to Monto, Langeroo, [C#] to you.
You had [A#] a bookshed foster, the [C#] dirty old imposter, took his mutton-loster up to Far Eagle End.
He first put on his bowler, then he buttoned up his trousers, and [F#] he whistled for a growler, and he said,
My [F#] man, take me up to [Fm] Monto, Monto, Monto, take me up to [G#] Monto, Langeroo, to [C#] you.
You've seen the double effuseliers, the dirty old bamboozliers, the wet will [D#] get the [G#] children, one, two, [C#] three.
Marching from the linen hall, there's one for every cannonball, pickies go with the senders all, for the sea.
But first go up to Monto, Monto, Monto, first go up to Monto, Langeroo, to you.
Carey told on Skindergoat, O'Donnell put him on the boat, he wished he'd never been afloat, the dork, the skite.
It wasn't very sensible to tell on the invincibles, they snuck aboard [F] the principals, [C#] day and night.
Be going up [F#] to Monto, [G#] Monto, Monto, going up to Monto, Langeroo, [C#] to you.
The Queen, she came to call him, thus she wanted to see all of us, and glad she didn't fall, and thus she's aid in [N] stone.
Missed, my lord, masses, she is the soul you've got to show to me, when home I'm there's some more to see.
Home, a-home, [A#] and he took her up to Monto, [D#] Monto, Monto, took her up to Monto, Langeroo, to you.
Ladies [D#] and gentlemen, thank you very much.
We would [A#] like to sing the last verse of this song in the manner [F] which we think that some friends of ours, in fact the aforementioned friends of ours, [Fm] might sing it.
We believe [C#] that they might sing it just like this.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Ah!
O, when they saw the blue sail, and the king in blue shirt, and then in the phoenix, in the big balloon,
oh, they asked the Polish man to play the weird one on the brain, but the boggers in the depot didn't know that tune.
So they took her up to Monto, Monto, Monto, folk her up to Monto, Lange-a-roo, hey, to you. Go DTU!
Hooray!
Go DTU!
