Текст с Bandcamp’a:
“Verse 1
It’s Saturday night and we’re playing a show
One shot of whiskey, one foot out the door
I kiss the kids goodbye and I hop in the car
But when your battery’s dead you don’t make it too far
Verse 2
Get to the gig about one hour late
The gear’s all loaded and the bands in a state
The lead cut his thumb and the fiddler’s sick
The pipers are drunk and the drummer’s a...
Chorus
Póg Mo Thóin to the boys in the band
as I sip black and tan
So sing along and raise up your glass
Póg Mo Thóin, they can all kiss my ass
Verse 3
We start the 1st set & the club is half full
Everyone is sitting on chairs and bar stools
There’s one girl dancing, she knows all our words
To hell with the rest of ya’, I’m singing for her
Verse 4
We play our new song and the bass starts too fast
Accordion gets lost and the banjo sounds flat
I start the 4th verse, forget half the words
So I sing anyway, it goes “something something...”
Chorus
Póg Mo Thóin to the slugs at the bar
Póg Mo Thóin you know who you are
A wink your way as I raise up my glass
Póg Mo Thóin, you can all kiss my ass
Verse 5
We end the show, say goodbye to the crowd
The manager tells us “you played WAY too loud!
You drove off my patrons, drank 33 pints
You’ll get no more pay, so piss off and good night”
Verse 6
It’s 4 AM as I walk through the door
I’m smelling quite rank as I strip to the floor
I crawl into bed, hold my beautiful wife
Then she pushes me away as she twists the last knife
Chorus
Póg Mo Thóin, were you swimming in beer?!
You smell like a bum, don’t you even come near!
Póg Mo Thóin, turn off that damn light
So Póg Mo Thóin, kiss my ass and good night!!
