The O'Reillys and the Paddyhats - Irish Way

"Irish Way" lyrics

Irish Way

I was roving out one evening
As I came down to Portlaw
I walked into to a dim lit pub
And suddently I saw
Her cheeks they were so rosie
And golden was her hair
She had to be an Irish girl
'Cause she looked so God damn fair

She took me by her lovely hand
And whispered in my ear
I'll get you up to heaven
If you'll order me a beer
Seconds later I find myself beside this pretty lass
Wanton thoughts in my head and an ale in my glass

"Hey dear, come on
Won't you spend another two?
One for me and one for you"
"The truth is she will fill you up and ask you to pay"
But I drink my pint and say "fuck off", 'cause that's my Irish way

When I was a little drunk
I went to take a piss
When I came back I saw two girls having a French kiss
The girls they waved me nearer
Could this really be?
The Irish way is finally dawning on me

When we drank our final pint, the girls asked me to pay
They promised me to meet outside
At Lower Castles way
And when they left, I took the bill
The girls have set me up
They left me whith an empty purse and sick to the gut

"Hey dear, come on
Won't you spend another two?
One for me and one for you"
"The truth is she will fill you up and ask you to pay"
But I drink my pint and say "fuck off", 'cause that's my Irish way

"Hey dear, come on
Won't you spend another two?
One for me and one for you"
"The truth is she will fill you up and ask you to pay"
But I drink my pint and say "fuck off", 'cause that's my Irish way
