"Hullabaloo-Belay" lyrics - BURL IVES

Me mother kept a boarding house
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay
And all the boarders were out to make
Hullabaloo belay

There was a young fellow named Shallo Brown
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay
Followed me mother all over the town
Hullabaloo belay

One day when me father was on the Crown
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay
Me mother ran off with Shallo Brown
Hullabaloo belay

Me father says, "Young man, me boy"
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay
To which I quickly made reply
Hullabaloo belay

Me father slowly pined away
Hullabaloo belay
Hullabaloo bela belay
Me mother came back on the very next day
Hullabaloo belay
