Irish Song
Irish Revelry: A Whiskey-Soaked Night of Joy and Mischief
Lyrics
Verse 1
Introduction of the setting in Ireland, anticipating rain
Well I poured myself another stout as I stepped into the rain
The narrator pours another stout and enters the rain
It was a balmy night in Ireland, but you could say I felt no pain
Despite the rain, the night is described as enjoyable, suggesting intoxication
I poured myself in McConnell's pub and there I had some more
Narrator enters McConnell's pub, continues drinking
The night was quite a cheery one filled with drinks and whores
The night is characterized by merriment with drinks and perhaps a casual attitude towards relationships
Chorus
Start of the chorus, emphasizing drinking and activities in the rain
And we drank and we drank and we drank and
Repetition of drinking, portraying a festive atmosphere
we drank and we drank and we drank some more
-And we danced and we sang and we played in the rain till the sun came up in the morn
Description of dancing, singing, and playing in the rain until morning
And when I went I went home well I wasn't alone and I had fun I gotta confess
Narrator admits to having fun and not being alone after going home
Cause it didn't take long when we reached the front lawn she was already outta her dress
Implies a swift romantic encounter upon reaching home
Verse 2
Introduction of another night with whiskey, suggesting a recurring pattern
Another night of whiskey left me hiding from the floor
Narrator is physically affected by the whiskey, contemplating entering a door
And I wondered to myself if I could make it through the door
Narrator questions their ability to endure another night in the same place
I said aloud I can't take it another night here in this place
The narrator expresses discontent until noticing a girl looking at them with a smile
Until that girly look upon me with that smile upon her face
Implies a change in mood due to the girl's attention
Chorus
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing continued drinking, dancing, and a romantic encounter
And we drank and we drank and we drank and
-we drank and we drank and we drank some more
-And we danced and we sang and we played in the rain till the sun came up in the morn
-And when I went I went home well I wasn't alone and I had fun I gotta confess
-Cause it didn't take long when we reached the front lawn she was already outta her dress
-Chorus
Repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the theme of drinking, dancing, and romantic escapades
And we drank and we drank and we drank and
-we drank and we drank and we drank some more
-And we danced and we sang and we played in the rain till the sun came up in the morn
-And when I went I went home well I wasn't alone and I had fun I gotta confess
-Cause it didn't take long when we reached the front lawn she was already outta her dress
