The Irish Drinking Song (Feat. The Gammy Fluthers) lyrics

[Verse 1: The Gammy Fluthers]
It was Christmas in Kirkubbin, 1991
The boys were mashing whiskey and the girls were drinking rum
And though the holly green was hangin’
And the mistletoe was hung
I couldn’t sleep that Christmas til the deed was done

[Chorus: The Gammy Fluthers]
I said li-dee-di-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-di-dee-dee
Kill a f*ckin’ Englishman and throw him in the sea

[Verse 2: The Gammy Fluthers]
So I stepped out from the merriment
Found a soldier by the dam
I took out both of these knuckles and I said “fight me like a man”
And he tried to calm me senses
But I was f*ckin’ gone
So I took out a f*ckin’ hatchet and I cut off both his arms

[Chorus: The Gammy Fluthers]
I said li-dee-di-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-di-dee-dee
Kill a f*ckin’ Englishman and throw him in the sea

Now just remember before this next part
I’m actually a rеally good guy in my personal life

[Verse 3: The Gammy Fluthers]
So I ripped out all his organs
As I cursеd the queen and king
Me eyes rolled back into me’s head and I couldn’t feel a thing
And I bet they could hear me screaming
Down in county cork
I went “YAH AYE YAH”
Aye li-deedle-di-li-die-lum

[Chorus: The Gammy Fluthers]
And we said li-dee-di-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-di-dee-dee
Kill a f*ckin’ Englishman and throw him in the sea

[Bridge: The Gammy Fluthers]
So I came back to the party
Soldier's head in hand
The boys, they stopped the dancing
And they quieted the band
I said “this is for the Republic. But my work here isn't done”
And I gave that English soldiers head to Colin, my only son

[Chorus: The Gammy Fluthers]
And we said li-dee-di-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-di-dee-dee
Kill a f*ckin’ Englishman and throw him in the sea
[Post-Chorus: The Gammy Fluthers]
Everybody!

Li-dee-di-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-di-dee-dee
Kill a f*ckin’ Englishman and throw him in the sea

Li-dee-di-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-di-dee-dee
Kill a f*ckin’ Englishman and throw him in the sea!
