When my granda' met with Patsy Cline He thought he'd have a wonderful time She stepped on his foot and he did pine I'm none the better for dancing I'm none the better for dancing Down at St. Anthony's oh Well Jim if we had a bob or two I'd tell you what we just might do Invite the ladies over a few And maybe the maids'll come dancing And maybe the maids'll come dancing Down at St. Anthony's oh We told ol' Joe half eight for sure He turned around and told one more And four hundred nutters turned up at the door All looking for maids to go dancing All looking for maids to go dancing Down at St. Anthony's oh We nearly had to fend them off They came in the house and began to scoff Of refreshment sure there wasn't enough Enough for the maids to come dancing
Enough for the maids to come dancing Down at St. Anthony's oh They got in the whiskey and brandy too Then Flannery spewed up on my shoe He turned to me and said I love you Oh Jimmy we better go dancing Oh Jimmy we better go dancing Down at St. Anthony's oh To the Ashford house on a Friday night Then Tuman's and Ginger's for a bite And it's exit that's open through all of the night If they'll let me back in to go dancing If they'll let me back in to go dancing Down at St. Anthony's oh Oh now come my boys and be aware To make the scene you must take care And not show up with puke in your hair And maybe the maids will come dancing And maybe the maids will come dancing Down at St. Anthony's oh
