[Intro – shouted, crowd claps on 2 & 4] Raise the mug, stamp the floor, let the night begin— if trouble knocks, we laugh and pull it in! [Verse 1] Fiddle on fire, whistle in the air, boots on the boards, wild hands everywhere. I came for a pint, I stayed for the storm, for a smile that could melt a Highland morn. The barman grins, pours gold so bright, then the room turns brave in the candlelight. [Pre-Chorus] Oho, the drums go dum-dum-dá, hearts go faster than a runaway cart! [Chorus – BIG, sing-along] Slàinte! Pour it high, let the night go long, we drink, we dance, we roar this song! Girls spin lightning, legs like grace, thighs like thunder setting pace. One more round, let the world go shy— we live tonight, we touch the sky! [Verse 2] There’s a lass in green with a rebel grin, steps so sharp she could slice the wind. She laughs at my swagger, steals my seat, says “Keep up, cat, if you’ve got feet!” So I try my luck, I match her turn, learn quick lessons the hard way—burn! [Pre-Chorus] Oho, the floorboards shake and sing, this one swears the rafters swing! [Chorus] Slàinte! Pour it high, let the night go long, we drink, we dance, we roar this song! Girls spin lightning, legs like grace, thighs like thunder setting pace. One more round, let the world go shy— we live tonight, we touch the sky! [Bridge – half-time for 4 bars, then speed burst] Hold—hold—hold—now breathe it in… (whispered) watch those steps… here comes the spin… Then GO! like rain on a tin roof loud— we’re a happy riot in a tartan crowd! [Final Chorus – fastest, extra melody] Slàinte! Pour it high, let the night go long, we drink, we dance, we roar this song! Girls spin lightning, legs like grace, thighs like thunder setting pace. One more round, till morning’s nigh— we grin at fate and pass it by! [Outro – shouted, fading fiddle run] To beer, to cheers, to fearless nights— to dancing legs and thunder thighs!
