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

[Verse 1]
It was Christmas in Kircubbin, 1981
The boys were mashing whiskey and the girls were drinking rum
And though the holly green was hanging
And the mistletoe was hung
I couldn't sleep that Christmas 'til the deed was done

[Chorus]
I said lie-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Lie-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a f*cking Englishman
And throw him in the sea

[Verse 2]
So I stepped out from the merriment
Found a soldier by the dam
I took out both me knuckles
And I said "Fight me like a man"
And he tried to calm me senses
But I was f*cking gone
So I took out a f*cking hatchet
And I cut off both his arms

[Chorus]
I said lie-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Lie-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a f*cking Englishman
And throw him in the sеa
[Interlude]
Now just remember bеfore this next part
I'm actually a really good guy in my personal life

[Verse 3]
So I ripped out all his organs
As I cursed the queen and king
Me eyes rolled back into me head
And I couldn't feel a thing
And I bet they could hear me screaming
Down in County Cork
I went "Yah-heyah!"
A-lie-da-lee-da-lie-dum

[Chorus]
And we said lie-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Lie-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a f*cking Englishman
And throw him in the sea

[Verse 4]
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 soldier's head to Collin, my only son
[Chorus]
And we said lie-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Lie-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a f*cking Englishman
And throw him in the sea (Everybody)
Lie-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Lie-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a f*cking Englishman
And throw him in the sea
Lie-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Lie-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a f*cking Englishman
And throw him in the sea
