Intro: x 2
You look around, you say what s up
You see another Irishman taking to the sup
You see that s the way, that s the way they came
You look around, you say what s up
You see another paddy and he s taking to the sup
You see that s the way, that s the way they came
Take me out on the jar today
We ll drink stout and we ll be okay
We might get our holes tonight
We ll get in a fight alright
Brendan Behan was a friend of mine
He loved the bars and he drink cheap wine
Get outta his mind with a lad and lass
He d ride them both and then go to mass
Shane McGowan loves Dublin town
I drank with him once and woke up on the ground
Maybe someday we ll meet up and do brunch
Some beers and a shandy too
You look around, you say what s up
You see another Irishman taking to the sup
You see that s the way, that s the way they came
You look around, you say what s up
You see another paddy and he s taking to the sup
You see that s the way, that s the way they came
Luke Kelly meant a lot to me
He sang from in here and then swigged his beer
If ordering pints was a crime
He d be in Mountjoy for eternity
Christy Moore was an awful whure
He d drink potcheen til the bogs were clean
He brought me great joy since I was a boy
The day he went dry the publican cried
You look around, you say what s up
You see another Irishman taking to the sup
You see that s the way, that s the way they came
You look around, you say what s up
You see another paddy and he s taking to the sup
You see that s the way, that s the way they came
Take me out on the jar today
We ll drink stout and we ll be okay
We might get our holes tonight
We ll get in a fight alright
Take me out on the jar today
