Into town on the Saturday night,

All the boys go on a spree,

If you come down to the disco,

You can have a drink with me!

With the ladies on the dance floor,

I’m a wild and crazy guy,

In me white socks and me black suede shoes,

and me thin red leather tie!

Then it’s off to mass next morning,

I’m wearin me Sunday best,

So I’ve no sins to confess!

After church, the married men

Cause I’m scullin da pints down at the pub

While watchin the football game!
