Dropkick Murphys - Out On The Town lyrics

rate me

Me and the gang, we were out on the town in my uninsured ‘88

It’s time to get Maggie down at the bar

She said don’t you punks dare be late

It was Saturday night on Hilltop Street

And everybody’s dressed to spill

They were having a time for Mary O’s boy Barry

Who had recently been killed

In the back of the bar, they were sure having fun

Everybody make some room

She got out of the chair, threw her fists in the air

And the whole palce started to move

[Chorus]

So get up, get up and get with the music

Everybody out of your seat

So get up, get up and get with the music

Maggie’s got a brand new beat

Tiny was Santa, Red's at the door

And the Old Brigade's starting to play

Maggie’s playing tricks on a few of the boys

Shell take your worries and your wallet away

Johhny Mac took a slap, from the few older brothers

When he wouldn’t dance with Big Marie

But it wouldn’t be long

Till they were singing along, with the girl they all came to see

[Chorus] x 2

So get up, get up and get with the music

Everybody out of your seat

So get up, get up and get with the music

Maggie’s got a brand new beat

She was handsome, she was mean, she smoked 2 packs a day Since she was 17

A leather face and many a vice, she had a sharper tongue than a butcher's knife

[Guitar solo]

She’s out past curfew, with the boys in the band throwing one last farewell toast

Then she's up with Father Dorin

At mass in the morning, handing out the Holy Ghost

[Chorus] x 2

So get up, get up and get with the music

Everybody out of your seat

So get up, get up and get with the music

Maggie’s got a brand new beat.
