Lyrics

[00:08.186] Oh, Dublin you're my city
[00:11.865] I'm proud to call you mine
[00:15.338] Divided by the Liffey's greasy slime
[00:22.711] No matter who I love and woo at home or over sea
[00:29.943] My heart prefers those Dubliners like me
[00:37.910] Dublin men and women are the salt of all the earth
[00:44.796] Fiercely true and loyal to the town that gave them birth
[00:52.007] A Dublin man spends all his life making friends
[00:55.705] With black porter each evening at eight
[00:59.512] When they sound his death knell his last prayer is to dwell
[01:02.818] By Saint James' pearly gate
[01:06.530] Oh, Dublin you're my city
[01:10.193] I'm proud to call you mine
[01:13.990] Divided by the Liffey's greasy slime
[01:21.047] No matter who I love and woo at home or over sea
[01:28.739] My heart prefers those Dubliners like me
[01:36.862] Dublin is to Dubliners a dear ould dirty town
[01:43.705] It's getting dearer every year and hard to earn a pound
[01:50.620] And as for the Liffey that gash through the city
[01:54.707] It's thicker than treacle or chalk
[01:58.114] It will soon be so grim that instead of a swim
[02:01.929] They'll be holding the Liffey walk
[02:05.465] Thugs and drugs and muggings are the order of the day
[02:13.103] The headlines yell: "We've gone to hell it's time crime didn't pay"
[02:19.902] The gangs and the police meet nightly on Foley Street
[02:24.562] Bleeding their way through the news
[02:27.539] It's become quite a scene the new show on our screen
[02:31.265] Will be Sean McDermott Street blues
[02:34.776] Oh, Dublin you're my city
[02:38.498] I'm proud to call you mine
[02:42.472] Divided by the Liffey's greasy slime
[02:49.491] No matter who I love and woo at home or over sea
[02:57.182] My heart prefers those Dubliners like me
[03:04.650] Even though we've troubles we can always find a smile
[03:12.034] A 'Dub' will wear a certain air I think you'd call it style
[03:19.258] Those Guinness streaked faces from the Phoenix Park races
[03:23.392] Cheer up the grey streets with their jibes
[03:26.719] Though most landmarks are gone, the rich pagent lives on
[03:30.237] And Molly Malone still survives
[03:33.916] So, Dublin you're my city
[03:37.639] I'm proud to call you mine
[03:41.546] Divided by the Liffey's greasy slime
[03:48.846] No matter who I love and woo at home or over sea
[03:56.111] My heart prefers those Dubliners like me
[04:02.436] Oh, Dublin you're my city
[04:05.730] I'm proud to call you mine
[04:09.229] Divided by the Liffey's greasy slime
[04:16.598] No matter who I love and woo at home or over sea
[04:24.199] My heart prefers those Dubliners like me
[04:29.590]
