HELLO! JOHN MALONEY. Copyright, 1890, by Harding Bros. Words and Music by Joseph Flynn. 
I'm a rale owld sport from Erin's Isle and a man ye's all know well, A reg'lar lally-cooler too, and a Dublin, Jackeen swell; I'm known at all the races, at the baseball ground I'm there, And when the boys all see me this cry rings out thro' the air: 
Chorus. Hello, John Maloney. you're the man I want to see. Shake hands. John Maloney, then come and dine with me, I am really plazed I met ye, I never could forget ye, For, by thunder, you're a wonder and the grand king bee. 
Last Thursday night I took a walk to pass the time you see. And soon beheld a lovely girl, who gaily winked at me, I soon made her acquaintance, to a restaurant did go. And ran right up against my darling wife and brother Joe. 
Chorus. Hello, John Maloney. you're the man I want to see. Look out, John Maloney, then they made a dive for me. They were really plazed " to meet me, but they licked and kicked and bate me, And with tables, plates And ladles nearly murdered me. 
One day about a month ago I went out on a spree. And had a fight with Flannigan. we never could agree; We rolled and kicked and struggled till the coppers, half-a-score. They clubbed and dragged us to the jail, where I had been before. 
Chorus. Hello, John Maloney, you're the man I want to see, Ten days, John Maloney. was the sentence he gave me; He was really plazed to jail me, and I had no friend to ball me. So, be gorry, to the quarry I was sent, you see. 
I know a lovely servant girl in a mansion down the street. And yesterday I went around this charmer for to meet; I told her I was wealthy and my name was Arthur Brown, When the milkman came, a friend of mine, And hollered like a clown: 
Chorus. Helio. John Maloney, you're the man I want to see, Pay up, John Maloney ", forty cents you owe to me; Then the girl she took a tumble, the poker she did fumble, And she poked And bit and choked me till I could not see.
