Three Dead Trolls In A Baggie - A Dublin Lullaby lyrics

rate me

(Music starts off as Danny Boy:)

Oh Danny Boy,

The Pints... The pints are calling

From inn to inn,

And down the mountainside

The whiskey's gone...

The candlelight is dying

I'm not pissed enough

But blesssed Mary knows I tried

But call me back when gin is in the flagon,

and when the tavern floor is drenched with blood

'cause I'll be here and I'll be off the wagon

Oh Danny Boy, whooah Danny-boy, Hey, you're such a bud.

(music fast-shifts to Irish Lullaby :)

Old Larry was a bastard, I gave his head a crack

I drank a pint of Guinness and pissed on a fucking neck

Old John I say was singing with Paddy in the back,

When Irish eyes are smiling you punch 'em 'till they're black!

We're gonna drink and fight

and drink and fight

and drink and fight some more

When the drinking's done grab anyone

and go and fight some

So grab your friends and neighbours,

and punch them in the eye

And raise another glass and sing

The Dublin Lullaby!

Old Larry and O'Connell were drinking pretty hard

They'd been sitting for a fortnight

With Clancy at the bar

He got so stewed

that when he spewed

we swore he must have drowned!

So we kicked his ass

and raised a glass

and bought another round!

We're gonna drink and fight

and drink and fight

and drink and fight some more

When the drinking's done grab anyone

and go and fight some

So grab your friends and neighbours,

and punch them in the eye

And raise another glass and sing

The Dublin Lullaby

I went up with old Larry to Old McDonald's wake

We drank a lot of stout and ate a lot of cake!

Someone was singing Danny-boy it filled my eyes with tears,

so we kicked his nuts into his guts, drink another beer!

We're gonna drink and fight

and drink and fight

and drink and fight some more

When the drinking's done grab anyone

and go and fight some

So grab your friends and neighbours,

and punch them in the eye

And raise another glass and sing

The Dublin Lullaby

(this is incomprehensible drunken babbling to the melody)

I gonna pattha pflatha! I Afka blatha aya cuff!

I flanna ganna blatha I focking gedda brluff!

I flanna ganna blatha blatha real tough!

We're gonna drink and fight

and drink and fight

and drink and fight some more

When the drinking's done grab anyone

and go and fight some

So grab your friends and neighbours,

and punch them in the eye

And raise another glass and sing

The Dublin Lullaby

(song appears to end, clapping... but then:)

We're gonna drink and fight

and drink and fight

and drink and fight some more

When the drinking's done grab anyone

and go and fight some

So grab your fucking neighbours,

and punch them in the fucking eye

And raise another glass and sing

The Dublin Lullaby

(And again, clapping... and again:)

We're gonna drink and fight

and drink and fight

and drink and fight some more

When the drinking's done grab anyone

and go and fight some

So grab your friends and neighbours,

and punch them in the fucking eye

And raise another glass and sing

The Dublin Lullaby
