|
Paddy is waiting in |
|
Drogheda town |
|
For the train to carry him south |
|
Another drunken night on the town |
|
Messing around |
|
The Roaring |
|
Boys, the roaring boys |
|
It's all the same to the roaring boys |
|
They come into town just to make some noise |
|
Oh the life of the roaring boys |
|
Drinking and fighting and acting the fool |
|
Shouting insults and thinking you're cool |
|
Telling lies and believing they're true |
|
Who's fooling who(Chorus rpt:) |
|
Oh the life of the roaring boys. |
|
Won't you tell me all your cares and problems |
|
Won't you tell me why you look so blue |
|
I'll take you into town, yeah, show you a thing or two |
|
I know every bar and nightclub |
|
Yeh, no two will be the same |
|
I know every nightclub doorman |
|
And they'll all know my name |
|
They all know my name |
|
Hey Charlie can you lend us a tenner |
|
Just until |
|
Saturday night |
|
You know I'll pay you back man |
|
You know I'll see you right cos |
|
Chorus:I am a roaring boy |
|
A wild colonial boy |
|
I'll party all night long |
|
Roaring boy |
|
Hey Stevie, let's hit the town |
|
I've got some money that |
|
I want to spend |
|
Let's go out on a bender, let's get drunk again |
|
But,Don't tell me 'bout your cares and problems |
|
Cos' I don't really want to know |
|
I've got train to catch yeah |
|
And I have got to go cos(Chorus: x 2) |
