Many of you have been asking for the lyrics for the Irish drinking song we wrote for the St. Patrick's day show. So here they are!
The I.D.S.
Lyrics by Phil Rich and Ashton Johnston (and embarrassingly, me)
Left me work the other day to have meself a pint,
never knew a simple brew could cause me such a night.
So here's a tale about the night that never should've been,
so grab your beer and gather round and let the tale begin.
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
I met meself an irish girl who had a pint of beer,
I thought her cute and took her waste to pull her closer near.
But while I thought on which the kiss, her bosom or the glass,
I went to take a sip and then she tossed me on me arse.
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Another lass did come my way who'd had too much to drink,
I thought her cute and took her waist to pull her close to me.
As she whispered naughty things we headed for the door,
but reaching for another pint she passed out on the floor.
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
As I tried to help her up, a beaut walked in the place,
Forgot about the drunken lass and dumped her on her face.
I didn't see the massive brute who wandered in as well,
before I even said a word, her boyfriend gave me hell.
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
I went to grab another pint to nurse me busted lip,
I felt my luck slipping away with every sour sip.
When next to me another lass did order up a drink,
she said "I'll pay for his as well" and then gave me a wink.
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
And as I turned to catch her gaze she caught me by surprise,
her hair was red as fire and she had the greenest eyes.
Her beauty was so stunning, I almost shed a tear,
before I did she took me waist and pulled me closer near.
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
She whispered all the naughty things she'd do when we got home,
but first we had to leave the pub so we could be alone.
since neither one of us could drive we stumbled half the way
until we finally called a cab to take us to her place
We started getting friendly when the lass turned out the lights,
but when I went to please the girl she poked me in the eye.
If I had known she was a he I never would've stayed
but I was drunk and so was she...*ahem*, he...and then we both got laid!
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
So if you've ever had a night as half as bad as mine
then you and i should meet my friend and grab a pint sometime
until that day go grab a beer and find yourself a friend
and Ei-di-die about the night that never should have been
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
Ei-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die-di-die
To everyone who asked, you are welcome.
