Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a very famous bar where we come from, up in
County
Gildare, and it's called
Laughlin's
Bar.
There's a ceilidh going on tonight,
and he plays his banjo bright
The crowd all dancing with delight,
down in
Loughlin's
Bar
While the jigs and reels were flying past,
give us a waltz if it's not too fast
Sure I don't think my fate will last,
down in
Loughlin's
Bar
It's one step, two step, three step, four,
all the girls are on the floor
Swingin' it up and swingin' back,
drivin' on the old man's madness
One step, two step, three step, four,
the crowd were yellin' out for more
The place was rotten,
what a laugh, down in awe
Here we go!
Well in the corner,
Dolly sits, she keeps an eye
on her husband
Mickey can't bet your life
she won't miss a trick
Down in
Loughlin's bar
And
Sally
Kelly's at the door
Making moves across the floor
Legs like hers not seen before
Down in
Loughlin's bar
It's one step, two step, three step, four
All the girls are on the floor
Swinging up and swinging back
Driving all the old ass crowds
It's one step, two step, three step, four
The crowd were yelling out for more
The place was runnin',
what a laugh, down in
Lachlan's
Bar
Well, all the boys jumped in the air,
throat shakes like
Fred
Astaire
You never know who might be there,
down in
Lachlan's
Bar
Well, now it's nearly five to four,
the guards are knockin' on the door
The barman shows the old one more
Down in
Laughlin's bar
It's one step, two step, three step, four
All the girls are on the floor
Swingin' up and swingin' back
Drivin' all the old lads mad
It's one step, two step, three step, four
The crowd reelin' it out for more
The place is rockin', what a laugh
Down in
Laughlin's bar
Whoa!
