Won't you bring back,
Won't you bring back
Mrs. Murphy's chowder?

It was tuneful,
Every spoonful
Made you yodel louder

After dinner Uncle Ben
Used to fill his fountain pen
From a bowl of

Mrs. Murphy's chowder
There was ice cream, cold cream,
Benzine, gasoline

Soup beans, string beans,
Floating all around
Sponge cake, beef steak,

Mistake, stomach ache
Cream puffs, ear muffs,
Many to be found

Silk hats, door mats,
Bed slats, Democrats
Cow bells, door bells,

Beckon you to dine
Meat balls, fish balls,
Moth balls, cannon balls

Come on in, the chowder's fine!
Won't you bring back,
Won't you bring back

Mrs. Murphy's chowder
It was tuneful,
Every spoonful

Made you yodel louder
If they had it where you are,
You might find a motor car

In a bowl of
Mrs. Murphy's chowder
There was ice cream, cold cream,

Benzine, gasoline
Soup beans, string beans,
Floating all around

Sponge cake, beef steak,
Mistake, stomach ache
Cream puffs, ear muffs,

Many to be found
Silk hats, door mats,
Bed slats, Democrats

Cow bells, door bells,
Beckon you to dine
Meat balls, fish balls,

Moth balls, cannon balls
Come on in, the chowder's fine!
