Take a Drop
Cheers to Life's Journey: The Rumpled's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
The day is out without a doubt
The day has ended without a doubt.
There's nothing like a pint of stout
Enjoying a pint of stout, a strong dark beer.
To ease my worried mind
Having a pint helps to relax and ease worries.
Leave all my fears behind
Leaving behind all fears and concerns.
A room filled with finer folk
Being in the company of refined people.
Your eyes did never see
Your eyes have not witnessed such elegance before.
So get a pint of gat
Get a pint of "gat" (possibly another term for beer) and join me.
And come along with me
Inviting someone to share the experience.
There's many men who rise and then
Many men rise and go about their day.
Go on their way throughout the day
They continue their journey without much on their minds.
With nothing on their minds
Emphasizing the carefree nature of some individuals.
They walk the bloody line
They face challenges and obstacles ("bloody line").
Speak up you're free to have your say
Encouraging free expression and speaking up.
So if you don't agree
Asserting one's right to disagree.
Then shut ya bleedin gob
Advising those who disagree to be quiet.
And listen now to me
Listening is important.
I always thought that life is short
Perceiving life as short and filled with opportunities.
The world is full of foreign ports
The world offers various places for exploration.
To help a traveller mend
Foreign ports provide assistance and friendship to travelers.
To visit and befriend
Encouraging visits and making friends.
A welcome filled with warmer cheer
A warm welcome awaits, filling the heart with joy.
Your heart could never feel
The feeling is something the heart has never experienced.
So get yourself a mighty scoop
Enjoy a significant amount (scoop) of something strong.
And come and dance a reel
Join in and dance a lively traditional Irish dance (reel).
When I know it's time to go
When it's time to leave, a small voice advises against it.
A little voice it tells me no
The inner voice discourages leaving.
It's easy to remain
Remaining in the current situation is easier than facing fears.
Than to face my fears again
Facing fears again is challenging.
The Shamrock jig it never ends
A reference to the Shamrock jig, a traditional Irish dance that symbolizes continuity.
A sound so dear to me
A cherished sound associated with the dance.
Turning strangers into friends
The dance turns strangers into friends.
Or take a drop with me
Invite to share a drink ("take a drop") with the speaker.
