| Well, you’re walkin' through a city street, you could be in Peru
|
| And you hear a distant calling and you know it’s meant for you
|
| Then you drop what you were doing and you join the merry mob
|
| And before you know just where you are, you’re in an Irish pub
|
| (Chorus)
|
| They’ve got one in Honolulu, they’ve got one in Moscow too
|
| They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
|
| So whether you sing or pull a pint you’ll always have a job
|
| 'Cause where ever you go around the world you’ll find an Irish pub
|
| Now that design is fairly simple and it usually works the same,
|
| You’ll have 'Razor Houghton' scoring in the Ireland — England game
|
| And you know your in an Irish pub the minute you’re in the door,
|
| For a couple of boys with bodhrans will be murdering Christy Moore
|
| (Chorus)
|
| Now the owner is Norwegian and the manager comes from Cork
|
| And the lad that’s holding up the bar says 'Only Eejits Work'
|
| He was born and bred in Bolton but his mammy’s from Kildare
|
| And he’s going to make his fortune soon and move to County Clare
|
| (Chorus)
|
| Now it’s time for me to go, I have to catch me train
|
| So I’ll leave ye sitting at the bar and face the wind and rain
|
| For I’ll have that pint you owe me, if I’m not gone on the dry
|
| When we meet next week in Frankford in the fields of Athenry
|
| (Chorus X2)
|
| Where ever you go around the world you’ll find an Irish pub. |
