me and dirk's trip to ireland
Me and Dirk took a little trip Across the sea on a big air ship Riley Baugus came along Helped us play our banjo songs Prettiest place that I've ever seen Entirely covered in emerald green  [Chorus] Ate a lotta hog Drank a lotta grog Stepped in a bog Came back in a fog  Place over there called Crosses of Annagh West Clare's answer to the Copa Caabana Mairtin and Danny, Siobhan and Ciaran Reelin' in the front room, Dermy was steerin' Three in the mornin', our welcome was shot We moved the session to the parkin' lot  Half an hour later, nature was callin' Got to the point where there's no more stallin' Dirk climbed up on a three foot wall We all cried No! as he started to fall Up to his thighs in a soggy ooze Peein' as the water filled up his shoes  Five in the mornin', sun comin' up Playin' more tunes, we were in our cups Up on a trailer dancin' the tango Three steps, boom, it's a fine fandango A little while later, sun gettin' higher We rolled Harry Bradley in a tractor tire
