Lyrics:
V1
Every Saturday is pub crawl night
It's my friends and my tradition
We're there until the sun shines bright
And we've lost all inhibition
V2
We are a rowdy bunch of fools
With glasses raised, and toasted
Each one has his favorite barstool
And takes a turn at being roasted
Pre-chorus
Tippin' the elbow
Sharing life and laughter
Drinkin' down our drinks
And another one straight after
Chorus
In Belfast, Dublin, or Killarney
We, lads, are all the same
You'll hear smooth-talking blarney
Asking ladies for their names
It's all done in good fun
We've become a circle of friends
Sharing stories till we're done
And we'll meet up next weekend
At the door, we'll say
Sláinte mo chara
Be well, my friend
V3
Whether in the old country or the states
Saturdays the night for dancing
Looking for that special date
We're always up for a little romancing
Pre-Chorus
We wear our hearts on our sleeves
Some say we are a warm lot
Let's sing another song
And give it all we've got
Chorus
In Belfast, Dublin, or Killarney
We, lads, are all the same
You'll hear smooth-talking blarney
Asking ladies for their names
And it's all done in good fun
We've become a circle of friends
Sharing stories till we're done
And we'll meet up next weekend
Heading at the door, we'll say
Sláinte mo chara
Be well, my friend (x4)
Chorus
In Belfast, Dublin, or Killarney
We, lads, are all the same
You'll hear smooth-talking blarney
Asking ladies for their names
And it's all done in good fun
We've become a circle of friends
Sharing stories till we're done
And we'll meet up next weekend
Heading at the door we'll say
Sláinte mo chara
Be well, my friend, Hey!
