Bad Irish Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walked in late with a grin Saw a stool, took a spin The fire was low, the room was packed And every mug had a lip-splash crack The fiddle screamed, the barrel rang Some old boy yelled, “Start the sang” I raised my cup, I missed my chair Still everybody cheered right there [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the night was thin But the laughs came in And the pints kept leaning Toward trouble again [Chorus] Nothing will ever be As good as a bad Irish drinking song Raise it up, sing along Nothing will ever be As good as a bad Irish drinking song We’re wrong all night long (we’re wrong all night long) [Verse 2] The priest walked by, he shook his head Three lads swore they’d be home by bed Then Sean fell into a coat rack stack And came up shouting, “Buy me back!” The landlord laughed, the glasses flew Someone kissed a lamppost through and through The whistle jabbed, the floorboards groaned And every fool there felt at home [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the night was thin But the cheers rolled in And the whole damn room Started up again [Chorus] Nothing will ever be As good as a bad Irish drinking song Raise it up, sing along Nothing will ever be As good as a bad Irish drinking song We’re wrong all night long (we’re wrong all night long) [Bridge] Now the moon hung high On a cracked black sky And the last round called Made the whole room sigh So we slammed that down With a foolish frown Then we laughed so hard We shook the town [Final Chorus] Nothing will ever be As good as a bad Irish drinking song Raise it up, sing along Nothing will ever be As good as a bad Irish drinking song We’re wrong all night long Nothing will ever be As good as a bad Irish drinking song (we’re wrong all night long)
