(Tin whistle & fiddle intro, full band crash) Verse 1 Pogues on the jukebox, whiskey in my glass (VOX: DRINK IT DOWN!) We’re shipping up to Boston, and we’re kickin’ some ass (VOX: KICK IT IN!) Drunken lullabies and barrels o’ beer (VOX: FILL IT UP!) It’s St. Paddy’s Day, so let’s make it unclear! Pre-Chorus From the black 47 to the Dropkick beat (VOX: HEY!) Flat Foot 56 stompin’ down the street (VOX: HEY!) Bible Code Sundays, Paddy Hats too (VOX: HEY!) And ‘Potato Famine’ by Car Bomb — you know what to do! (VOX: HEY!) Chorus This is every Irish song ever! (VOX: EVER!) Tin whistle, fight, and drink forever! (VOX: FOREVER!) Corned beef, soda bread, sheep in the shed (VOX: HEY!) Raise your pint and smash your head! (VOX: HEY!) Verse 2 Three little jigs, then a pub song roars (VOX: LOUDER NOW!) We’re fist-fightin’ dad on the front porch floor (VOX: DOWN HE GOES!) The wild rover’s here, with a rattlin’ bog (VOX: BANG THE DRUM!) Rosy cheek, red nose, and a Guinness fog (VOX: DRINK IT DOWN!) Pre-Chorus From the Blaggards’ shout to the Elders’ reel (VOX: HEY!) Great Big C — let’s make it feel real (VOX: HEY!) Meet me on Galloway, I’ll fly away too (VOX: HEY!) And ‘Potato Famine’ by Car Bomb — pour another brew! (VOX: HEY!) Chorus This is every Irish song ever! (VOX: EVER!) Tin whistle, fight, and drink forever! (VOX: FOREVER!) Corned beef, soda bread, sheep in the shed (VOX: HEY!) Raise your pint and smash your head! (VOX: HEY!) Bridge (Rezillos-style punk snarl) Someone’s gonna get their head kicked in — TONIGHT! (VOX: TONIGHT!) Someone’s gonna start a fight just ‘cause it feels right! (VOX: FEELS RIGHT!) Shamrocks, stereotypes, sing it loud and proud (VOX: LOUD!) If it’s borderline racist, just shout it in the crowd! (VOX: CROWD!) Final Chorus This is every Irish song ever! (VOX: EVER!) Tin whistle, fight, and drink forever! (VOX: FOREVER!) Corned beef, soda bread, sheep in the shed (VOX: HEY!) Raise your pint and smash your head! (VOX: HEY!) (Band collapses into drunken whistle outro)
