  1. Song - Johnny McAdoo

    “Jonny McAdoo and me and McGee”

    Johnny McAdoo and me and McGee,
    And another two or three,
    Went for a spree one day.

    And the beer and the whiskey flew
    And we all felt gay.

    We then went down to swans
    Our stomachs for to pack.
    We ordered quite a feed which indeed we did need
