[Verse 1]
N.C
As I came down thru Dublin city at the hour of twelve at night
N.C
Who should I see but a Spanish Lady, washing her feet by candlelight
N.C
First she washed them, then she dried them, over a fire of amber coals
N.C
In all my life I ne'er did see a girl so sweet about the soul
[Chorus]
G Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am D
Whack for the toora loora lay
G Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am D
Whack for the toora loora lay
[Verse 2]
G Em Am D
As I came back thru Dublin city at the hour of half past eight
G Em Am D
Who should I see but the Spanish lady brushing her hair in broad daylight
G Em G Am D
First she brushed it, then she tossed it, on her lap was a silver comb
G Em Am D
In all my life I ne'er did see a girl so fair since I did roam
[Chorus]

Whack for the toora loora laddy

Whack for the toora loora lay
