It's 3 am and we're down at bridie's

The music's grand the craic it flows.

With wally putt and Gard O'Brien

The best of times we've ever known.



So raise your glasses to the heavens.

The O'Reilly's and the Nevens

It;'s just as well a chara

The tabels are nailed down.

Paddy Murphy's on his 2nd.

With Mc Duff and the reverend.

We're having ourselves a rare auld time.



Now Tom O'neil is going crazy.

He's doin' a jig with the wife.

She doesn't know it's fridays money.

He spends at bridie's thursday night.



Now ashtrays fly.

And chairs fall over.

There'll be hell to pay by daylight.

But we don't care.

Tis surely liftin,

to see the glint in old tom's eye.



So raise your glasses to the heavens.

The O'Reilly's and the Nevens

It;'s just as well a chara

The tabels are nailed down.

Paddy Murphy's on his fourth.

With O'conner and Mc Court.

we're havin ourselve a rare auld time.



All's quiet now in Danny's corner.

A drop of dew was his taste.

We miss the man since he met the coroner.

His humor never went to waste.

The story goes, he walks by moonshine.

The auld one's hear him every night.

They say he sings, down by the ditches.

Raisin' hell till the break of light.



So raise your glasses to the heavens.

The O'Reilly's and the Nevens

It;'s just as well a chara

The tabels are nailed down.

Paddy Murphy's on his 8th

with Jimmy Joyce and Yeats.

We're havin' our selves a rare auld time.



Sweet Mary Clare has roses bloomin.

The lads are givin her the eye.

But she just wants to get back with patrick

After tellin him goodbye.



Now Jerry Byrne has called for cuines.

His Kate has fallin in a trance.

A voice so pure.

T'would give ya shivers

But soon she'll break into a dance.



So raise your glasses to the heavens

The O'Reily's and the Nevens.

It's just as well a chara.

The tables are nailed down.

Paddy Murphy's on his 9th

Dylan Thomas, Oscar Wilde.

We're havin' ourselves a rare auld time.

Good ol' Murphy's on his 10th

Jaysus Behan's really bent

it's just as well a chara the tabele's are nailed down.

Sean O'Casey Kavanaugh

Now it's Murphy's on his back

Behan's having one on jack

it's just as well a chara the table's are nailed down
