Christy Moore - Weekend In Amsterdam lyrics

rate me

When we got our redundancy, myself and the lads went on

The spree

A brand new passport in my hand as we took off for The

Netherland

Myself and Dinny and O'Dwyer and Scut at Schiphol we

Were all half cut

We opened up the duty-free, the red lemonade and brandy

And we jumped on board a tram

Oh The Weekend that we spent in Amsterdam

Our first stop was the coffee shop, in we went and we

All sparked up

Hashish from Pakistan, Morocco, Nepal and the Lebanon

All the boys was rollin' joints, they forgot to drink

Their pints

Water pipe came bubblin' around, took one pull and hit

The ground

Lads wake him if you can

Oh The Weekend that we spent in Amsterdam

Sunday we went to The Blarney Stone, Paddy Wynne had

The Leinster Final on

The Lily Whites and The Boys in Blue, the Majors and

Taytos

Over to Mulligan's for the night, the bar was leppin'

And the band was shite

De Burgh, De Bono and De Wolfe Tones'til Dinny grabbed

The microphone

And gave us Van The Man

Oh The weekend that we spent in Amsterdam

Macker sez while we're here we'll go and have a look at

The kinky gear

I said a quiet prayer I wouldn't bump into anyone from

Kildare

Big dildos, blow-up dolls, snap-on tools and hairy

Balls

Vibrators, whips and chains, zips and fanny ticklers

God between us and all harm

Oh The Weekend that we spent in Amsterdam

Then we went for a midnight walk, all our eyes were out

On stalks

Gay bars, bordellos, models in the windows with no

Clothes

Dinny he danced all night with a South American

Transvestite

Everything was goin' grand until Dinny tried to drop

The hand There was pandemonium

Oh The Weekend that we spent in Amsterdam

The bouncer she was 5' 10", Lowland Heavyweight

Champion

She hit Dinny an awful box, the boys ran amok and

Wrecked the shop

We could hear the squad cars getting near, it's time

Lads we were out of here

Dinny pulled up his tights and we disappeared into the

Night

All together now one by one

Oh The Weekend that we spent in Amsterdam

Queen Beatrix she rides her bike, Rembrandt is hangin'

Down in The Rijk

Ajax, Heineken, Van Gogh, The Gargle and The Ghanja

Monday morning we were all half cracked we dived into

The Kaisergracht

They fished us out, hosed us down and put us on the

Plane to Dublin Home to the Mammy again

Oh The Weekend that we spent in Amsterdam
