Battlin’ Brannigan’s Back In Town Lyrics by Al Duvall

Hey Rube

0

They're singing in Sing Sing, calling from [?]
Climbing the chicken-wire flophouse roofs
"Hey boys! What's the noise?"
"Battlin' Brannigan's back in town!"
He's seven-foot-seven with his head held down
Barbed-wire knuckles and a cast-iron frown
Hey boys! What's the noise?
Battlin' Brannigan's back in town!

He robbed and stole his way across the land
Sold human hearts from off a roadside stand
And taken scalps along the Rio Grande
Now he's come home to lend the gang a hand

So Chinatown Charlie, Bowery Bob
Drop your shovels and join the mob:
"Hey boys! What's the noisе?"
"Battlin' Brannigan's back in town!"

He cracks his bat on the old top hat
Makes upright citizеns lie down flat
Hey boys! What's the noise?
Battlin' Brannigan's back in town!
He takes the law in his hands to choke
And grinds their bones to make his coke
Hey boys! What's the noise?
Battlin' Brannigan's back in town!

The streets were taken from us by the cops
Then cleaners marching with their brooms and mops
Then dandies prancing out of fancy shops
And baby sailors with their lollipops

But sure as the vulture follows the stork
The tables will turn on old New York
Hey boys! What's the noise?
Battlin' Brannigan's back in town!
Hey boys! What's the noise?
Battlin' Brannigan's back in town!
