Summary

Portrait of William Thomas Goodge William Thomas Goodge,  Mulligan's Shanty (1898)

“ Things is just the same as ever
On the outer Never-Never,
And you look to find the stock of liquor scanty;
But we found things worse than ordin'ry,
And in fact a bit extraordin'ry,
When myself and Bill the Pinker struck the shanty.
“Shanty?” says you. “What shanty?”
Why, Mulligan's shanty!
I says “Whisky”; Bill says “Brandy”
