O’Leary is dead, and O’Reilly don’t know it.
O’Reilly is dead, and O’Leary don’t know it.
They both are dead in the very same bed,
And neither one knows that the other is dead.
Baroom…Baroom…
The ghost of O’Leary was walking the street.
And while he was walking well who did he meet?
The ghost of O’Reilly who jumped to his feet.
Who said, “Oh the devil! You are my friend Pete!”
Baroom…Baroom…
The ghost of O’Leary and ghost of O’Reilly,
They looked at each other and then became smiley.
But realized they’d died and started a-crying.
The story O’Leary and story O’Reilly.
Baroom…Baroom…
The ghost of O’Leary was walking the street.
And while he was walking well who did he meet?
The ghost of O’Reilly who jumped to his feet.
Who said, “Oh the devil! You are my friend Pete!”
Baroom…Baroom…
The ghost of O’Leary and ghost of O’Reilly,
They looked at each other and then became smiley.
But realized they’d died and started a-crying.
The story O’Leary and story O’Reilly.
Baroom…Baroom…
