Now Calligan, the tailor always used to make my clothes
And I always used to pay so much a week,
He always used to suit me well and never did I suppose
He'd prove himself a very nasty sneak,
Some time ago from Calligan, a pair of pants I bought
But since I've had them trousers, well my work has fallen short,
I miss'd him for a fortnight, as I'd not the cash to pay,
So when he called upon me for his cash the other day,

Chorus

Said I to Calligan, "You'll have to call again"
Call again said Calligan, "Not I"
Said I to Calligan, "You'll have to call again,
For I haven't got your M-O-N-E-Y!"

Verse 2

"Calligan" said I to him "I've dealt with you for years,
And I must admit you've always found me straight,
And so I will be this time, In spite of all your fears,
There's not the slightest doubt you'll have to wait.
"Wait be-dad!" said Calligan, and then his temper rose,
We argued till I really thought our words would come to blows.
Said he, "Now when do you intend to settle up the score?"
I said "When we go on full time," and then again once more.

Chorus

Verse 3

Calligan, quite angry, said no longer would he wait,
Though I told him I would pay fair and square,
He told me for to take them off, Tho' I to him did state,
That they were all that I had got to wear,
"Take them off," said Calligan, "I'll take them back with me"
And I'll let you have them back when you can pay the L,s.d;
Said I to him, "What shall I be with out a pair of pants?"
Said he, "A living picture_or else ta-ble-aux vie-ants"

Chorus
