Paddy’s Night Out The Wolfe Tones

Was a wet day in London, me fortunes were crumblin'
I was on me way back from the building, the job
And the foreman that day, he saw nothing my way
And the lorry ran over the sandals, begob

I was hungry and thirsty and felt a bit down
I went in for a little libation
I'd five pints of porter, three Jimmies for starters
Two pork pies and what —
Some cabbage and bacon

Though the day, it was dreary
Now I felt a bit cheery
In no time I was ready for action, begob
And I played the old jukebox
Pulled up the old blue socks -
And winked at this young woman beside me, begob
Wouldn't it be, it would happen to me
She winked back and she sat down beside me
I told her me name and she told me the same
Says I to her, "What?"
"Then what are ya drinkin'?"

[Chorus]
"Come here, me old flower" I said then to her
"It's the truth, I'm known as a liar"
"Come here, me old flower, I've seen ya before!"
"Give the woman in the bed there more porter"
