Irish Bar Song

Oh the bar is officially open
come on in because everyone's hopin'
that the pints will flow more
than a seasoned street whore
as we all give a toast to the day.

Hi, Ho !  
Come on, let's go--
break out the whiskey and rye
and we hope accolades
don't become hand grenades
and someone gets punched in the eye!


Hey bar-keep, come pour me another
beer to salute my young brother
who rolled in the grass
with a fine looking lass
and their babe is now well on its way.

Hi, Ho!
Come on, let's go--
roaring and dancing the jig;
We'll all sing along
to the Irish Bar Song
way past drunk to give much of a fig!


Well now the clock's chiming eleven,
and we opened our bottles 'fore seven
let's keep the rounds going
while our spirits are growing
and soaring right up to the sky.

Hi, Ho!
Come on, let's go--
the night is still younger than me;
we'll pour back some more
'til we land on the floor
knee-slapping and laughing with glee!
