Before we all start drinking, first some short notes on the state of Paddy, The Irish Rover (1).
What went wrong with his beautiful Green Island (2) in the Atlantic?
A paradise on earth is was once. A place were Paddy used to sing I´m Diggin My Potatoes (29).
Where he loved his Green Onions (5) and, above all, his Greenbacks (8).
But nowadays all Paddy sings is I´m Broke (20), Honey Where´s The Money Gone (3) and I´m Hungry(13).
That Stuff They Call Money (10), it´s all gone! Paddy is Living In Depression (9).
He´s feeling Heavy Heavy Heavy (7), he´s got the Bankers Blues (28).
Open the Door (22) , he yells in vain in front of any bank.
Paddy is Blue And Lonesome (16).
Didn´t it Rain (26) that hard, Paddy wouldn´t feel so bad. But in Ireland, When It Rains It Pours (24).
Hungry and Thirsty (12), our man enters the pub.
Hey Bartender (17), he says, and ten seconds later: There Stands The Glass (19).
Paddy drinks his Quiet Whiskey (11).
Five or six drinks later, Paddy feels like a Whiskey Headed Man (21).
I´m Leaving (18), he thinks.
Two hours later, he is still there. The only thing that pours now, is the liquor.
Streams Of Whiskey (15) are flowing through Paddy´s body.
And of course, being Irish, he starts singing a song.
That Woman Got Me Drinking (30), Patty moans,
blaming the girl with A Pair Of Brown Eyes (27) he met the other day.
Soon the whole drunken pub crowd joins in Patty´s Lament (23).
Wine, Whiskey and Women (6) it is for the rest for the day.
Everbody´s heading for a severe case of Intoxica (14).
Tomorrow they all will feel Sick, Sober and Sorry (25).
And the only question left will be: Who Threw The Whiskey In The Well? (31)
But that´s tomorrow. For now let´s all rise for God Save Ireland (32)!
