Official Lyrics:

Theres a county map to go on the wall,
A hurling stick & a shinty ball,
The bric, the brac, the craic & all,
Lets call it an Irish pub,
Caffreys, Harp, Kilkenny on tap,
The Guinness pie & that cabbage crap,
The ideal wannabee Paddy trap,
We'll call it an Irish pub,

Whale, oil, beef, hooked! I swear upon the holy book,
The only 'craic' you'll get is a slap in the ear,
Whale, oil, beef, hooked! I'll up & burst yer filthy mug,
If you draw one more shamrock in me beer!

We'll raise the price o' beer a dollar,
We'll make em wear a shirt & collar,
We'll fly a bloody tri-colour,
And call it an Irish pub,
Jager bombs & double shots,
The underagers think its tops,
We'll spike the drinks & pay the cops,
We got us an Irish pub.

The quick one in the filthy bog,
The partin' glass across the lug,
O' the lady-O, the dirty dog,
We got us an Irish pub,
It's over to me and over to you,
We'll skip along the Avenue,
And who t'hell is Ronnie Drew?
We got us an Irish pub.

Plasma screens & neon lights,
Kara-farkin-oke nights,
The bouncers they can pick the fights,
We'll call it an Irish pub,
Plastic cups, a polished floor,
We'll hose the blood right out the door,
And let the knucklers back for more,
We got us an Irish pub,

Oh top o' the mornin', Garryowen,
Kiss me I'm Irish, Molly Malone,
Failte, Slainte, Pog ma thon,
We got us an Irish pub,
Spike the punch & strip the willow,
Strike me up the rakes o' Mallow,
The Liffey never ran so shallow,
We got us an Irish pub.

This song makes me proud of being Irish, which is interesting since I am Spanish.

[thanasisathan]

10 years of perfecting my english as a greek native i have sat and got the best degree possible in english with 217/230 and the only thing i can understandd is 'irish pub'

Update:~4 years living in the UK, after visiting plenty of Irish pubs and I would say my understanding has improved by roughly 10%. Surely guinness being my drink of choice as well should have made this a bit easier for me.

[kennylloyd]

If you drink rum before 10 AM you're not an alcoholic, you are a pirate

[AuntieAgatha-gsyi]

St. Paddy's 2025!!! Still rockin' it Irish style in America!

[wonder-bred]

This is whats really at the end of the rainbow.

Last time I went to a Renaissance Festival, I grabbed myself a beer first thing (as I always do at these things), and one of the "villagers" passed by me and said, "Isn't it awful early for ale, ma'lord?"
I replied, "Nay...you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning, ma'lord."

[murphcoenterprises]

This song turned Christmas into St Patrick day.

In case anybody was confused

There's a county map to go on the wall
A hurling stick & a shinty ball
The bric, the brac, the craic and all
Let's call it an Irish pub
Caffreys, Harp, Kilkenny on tap
The Guinness pie and that cabbage crap
The ideal wannabe Paddy trap
We'll call it an Irish pub
Whale, oil, beef, hooked! I swear upon the holy book
The only craic you'll get is a slap in the ear
Whale, oil, beef, hooked! I'll up and burst yer filthy mug
If you draw one more shamrock in me beer
We'll raise the price o' beer a dollar
We'll make 'em wear a shirt and collar
We'll fly a bloody tri-colour
And call it an Irish pub
Jager bombs and double shots
The underagers think it's tops
We'll spike the drinks and pay the cops
We got us an Irish pub
The quick one in the filthy bog
The partin' glass across the lug
O' the lady-O, the dirty dog
We got us an Irish pub
It's over to me and over to you
We'll skip along the Avenue
And who the hell is Ronnie Drew?
We got us an Irish pub
Whale, oil, beef, hooked! I swear upon the holy book
The only craic you'll get is a slap in the ear
Whale, oil, beef, hooked! I'll up and burst yer filthy mug
If you draw one more shamrock in me beer

Plastic cups, a polished floor
We'll hose the blood right out the door
And let the knucklers back for more

I played this to a case of Budweiser.
It’s now Guinness.

[marbelsmusic]

The flute, the drums, the lyrics, all of it gives anybody a sense of irishness for some reason and I love it.

[insidedadshead]

Son: Hey dad, are we Irish?
