Trying to make a fun Irish song.
Needs fiddle, percussion, etc. But just imagine it's all there!
Also, what kind of masochist writes the lyric "good cheer's contagious" at this tempo?
lyrics
Grab your whistle and grab your bow
It’s time to get ready (I don’t want to go)
Down to the corner to McAdoo’s pub
We’ll start up a session (I just want my tub)
Young Ian is singing the black stuff is flowing
It’s always a good time (I still don’t like going)
Drink a little whisky you might have some fun
I know you like dancing (I wish we were done)
Bowstrings are flashing young lassies are dancing
And the lads are doing their best to catch up
Good cheer’s contagious we’ll stay out for ages
There’s never bad night at McAdoo’s Pub
Why did you drag me out of my bed?
I have to rise early (you’re out of your head)
I’ll stay for just one drink then back to my place
I’ve schoolwork to finish (but it’s Saturday!)
This song’s not bad and I know the words
Maybe I’ll dance (it’s about time you stirred)
Let’s have another, the next one’s on me
You were right this is where I should be
Bowstrings are flashing young lassies are dancing
And the lads are doing their best to catch up
Good cheer’s contagious we’ll stay out for ages
There’s never bad night at McAdoo’s Pub
Music is healing and everyone’s feeling
The joy you feel when sharing a cup
Good cheer’s contagious we’ll stay out for ages
There’s never bad night at McAdoo’s Pub
Good cheer’s contagious we’ll stay out for ages
There’s never bad night at McAdoo’s Pub
