Oh i once knew a lad from Hoboken, a lad from Hoboken, a lad from Hoboken Zip a dee da day o This lad from Hoboken, this lad from Hoboken He loved to sing and he lived to dance This lad from Hoboken this lad from Hoboken Loved to sing and dance Zip a dee da day o Now he sang all day and he danced all night And he danced all day far into the moonlit night He danced all day and he danced all night So what do we do with this lad from Hoboken He sang all day and danced all night So what do we do with him Oh i once knew a lad from Hoboken A lad from Hoboken A lad from Hoboken I once knew a lad from Hoboken Who is now lying dead from fairy spite They made him dance and they made him sing All on a moonless night He kept on dancin, kept on dancin. Right on over a cliff. Oh i heard the thunder and heard the thunder Of the wild hunts trip with souls to ferry To lands down under, I saw my friends ghost on back of horse Back of horse, back of horse, Screaming at me for help So i once knew a lad from Hoboken A lad from Hoboken A lad from Hoboken zip a dee da day o
