[Verse 1]
G# C# G#
Have you heard of Phil the Fluter from the town of Ballymuck?
G# C# D#
The times were going hard with him, in fact the man was broke.
G# C# G#
So he just sent out a notice to his neighbours, one and all,
G# Fm C# D# G#
as to how he'd like their company that evening at a ball.
G# D# Fm D#
And when writin' out he was careful to suggest to them,
G# D# A# D#
that if they found a hat of his convenient to the door.
G# D# Fm D#
The more they put in, whenever he requested them,
G# Fm C# D#
the better would the music be for batterin' the floor.
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle, O,
G# C# D#
hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle, O.
G# C# G#
Up! down, hands aroun', crossin' to the wall,
G# Fm C# D# G#
Oh!, hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluter's ball.

[Verse 2]
G# C# G#
There was Mister Denis Dogherty, who kep' the runnin' dog,
G# C# D#
there was little crooked Paddy, from the Tiraloughett bog.
G# C# G#
There was boys from every Barony, and girls from ev'ry 'art',
G# Fm C# D# G#
and the beautiful Miss Bradys, in a private ass an' cart.
G# D# Fm D#
And along with them came bouncing Mrs. Cafferty,
G# D# A# D#
Little Micky Mulligan was also to the fore.
G# D# Fm D#
Rose, Suzanne, and Margaret O'Rafferty,
G# Fm C# D#
the flower of Ardmagullion, and the pride of Pethravore.
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle, O,
G# C# D#
hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle, O.
G# C# G#
Up! down, hands aroun', crossin' to the wall,
G# Fm C# D# G#
Oh!, hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluter's ball.

[Verse 3]
G# C# G#
First, little Micky Mulligan got up to show them how,
G# C# D#
and then the Widda' Cafferty steps out and makes her bow.
G# C# G#
I could dance you off your legs, says her, 'as sure as you are born,
G# Fm C# D# G#
if ye'll only make the piper play, "The hare was in the corn."
G# D# Fm D#
So Phil plays up to the best of his ability,
G# D# A# D#
the ladies and the gentlemen begin to do their share.
G# D# Fm D#
'Faith, then Mick, it's you that has agility
G# Fm C# D#
Begorra Mrs. Cafferty, yer leppin' like a hare!'
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle, O,
G# C# D#
hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle, O.
G# C# G#
Up! down, hands aroun', crossin' to the wall,
G# Fm C# D# G#
Oh!, hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluter's ball.
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
G# C# G#
Then Phil the Fluter tipped a wink to little Crooked Pat,
G# C# D#
'I think it's nearly time,' says he, 'for passin' round the hat.'
G# C# G#
So Paddy pass'd the caubeen round, and looking mighty cute,
G# Fm C# D# G#
says, 'Ye've got to pay the piper when he tooters on the flute.'
G# D# Fm D#
Then all joined in with the greatest joviality,
G# D# A# D#
covering the buckle, and the shuffle, and the cut.
G# D# Fm D#
Jigs were danced, of the very finest quality,
G# Fm C# D#
the Widda' bet the company at 'handling the fut.'
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle, O,
G# C# D#
hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle, O.
G# C# G#
Up! down, hands aroun', crossin' to the wall,
G# Fm C# D# G#
Oh!, hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluter's ball.
