You look around, you say what's up

You see another Irishman taking to the 'sup

You see that's the way, that's the way they came

Take me out on the jar today

Brendan Behan was a friend of mine
B                        A           E

Get outta his mind with a lad and lass

Shane McGowan loves Dublin town
B                              A         E 
I drank with him once and woke up on the ground
B                        A         E                   
Maybe someday we'll meet up and do 'brunch'

Some beers and a shandy too

Luke Kelly meant a lot to me
B                             A           E
He sang from in here and then swigged his beer
B                       A
If ordering pints was a crime

He'd be in Mountjoy for eternity
