The Pub at the End of the World

Irish folk pop, clapping beat, energetic, gang vocals, fiddle, drinking song

[Verse 1]
They built a high-rise across the street
But Old Dave’s still in the window seat
The neon sign is flickering out
But inside here, we scream and shout
The landlord’s grumpy, the beer is flat
But we don’t care about things like that
The carpet is sticky from '84
But we’re still dancing on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
The developers are knocking at the gate
Tell 'em all that they’re gonna have to wait!
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
[Chorus]
Raise a glass to the peeling paint
To the sinner and the patron saint
If the sky falls down, well let it fall
We’re at the Pub at the End of the World, after all!
Pour another pint, lock the door
We ain’t leaving 'til the floorboards roar!
Sing it loud, sing it clear
We’re staying right here!
[Verse 2]
There’s Mary blowing smoke rings in the air
She’s got a flower in her grey hair
And Jimmy’s playing fiddle on the bar
Thinking he’s a rock and roll star
The world outside is going to hell
But we’re all under a magic spell
As long as the Guinness flows from the tap
We don’t need a compass, we don’t need a map
[Pre-Chorus]
The developers are knocking at the gate
Tell 'em all that they’re gonna have to wait!
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
[Chorus]
Raise a glass to the peeling paint
To the sinner and the patron saint
If the sky falls down, well let it fall
We’re at the Pub at the End of the World, after all!
Pour another pint, lock the door
We ain’t leaving 'til the floorboards roar!
Sing it loud, sing it clear
We’re staying right here!
[Bridge]
(Slow down, acapella stomping)
Oh, the rent is due and the bills are high
But we’ll keep drinking 'til the well runs dry
They can take the roof, they can take the walls
But they’ll never take the spirit in these halls!
(Speed up!)
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
[Fiddle Solo]
[Chorus]
Raise a glass to the peeling paint
To the sinner and the patron saint
If the sky falls down, well let it fall
We’re at the Pub at the End of the World, after all!
Pour another pint, lock the door
We ain’t leaving 'til the floorboards roar!
[Outro]
Last orders!
I said last orders!
Drink up!
(Cheering and glass clinking)
