I'VE GOT RINGS ON MY FINGERS
Jim O'Shea was cast away
upon an Indian isle.
The natives there--they liked his hair.
They liked his native smile.
They called him Chief Panjanderum
Nabob of them all.
They called him Jijiboo Jay.
They rigged him up so gay.
So he wrote to Dublin Bay
to his sweetheart just to say...
Sure, I've got rings on my fingers,
bells on my toes, elephants to ride
upon--my little Irish Rose.
So come to your Nabob, and next
Patrick's Day be Mistress mumbo,
Jumbo Jijiboo Jay O'Shea
O're the sea went Rose Magee
to see her Nabob grand
she sat within his Palanquin
and when she took his hand
He led her to his harem
where he had wives galore
she started shedding a tear
he said my dear don't fear
these wives that I keep here
are just for ornament my dear
In Emerald Green he robed his queen
to share with him his throne
mid eastern charms and waving palms
they'd shamrocks Irish grown
All the way from Dublin
to Nabob Jay O'SHea
But in his palace so fine
Should Rose for Ireland pine
With smiles her face will shine
when he murmers sweetheart mine
