Toor-a-ah

Here we are amongst you,

And we're here because we're here

We're only one year older

Than were this time last year A-Ah

Toor-A-Ah, Toor-A-Ah, Me rightful Toor-A-Ah

Rum da dum, for didl-ly-um on my Toor-A-Ah-A-Ah

The more a man has, the more a man wants

This, I don't think true

I've never met a man with a naggin' wife

Who wished that he had two A-Ah

Toor-A-Ah, Toor-A-Ah, Me rightful Toor-A-Ah

Rum da dum, for didl-ly-um on my Toor-A-Ah-A-Ah

A young Colleen had a husband

Oh, but he was good in bed,

He went straight to sleep and he never snored

And he lay like he was dead A-Ah

Toor-A-Ah, Toor-A-Ah, Me rightful Toor-A-Ah

Rum da dum, for didl-ly-um on my Toor-A-Ah-A-Ah

The farmers wife had children ten

And she didn't know what to do

While the sailors wife had children none

But she knew what to do

Toor-A-Ah, Toor-A-Ah, Me rightful Toor-A-Ah

Rum da dum, for didl-ly-um on my Toor-A-Ah-A-Ah

Toor-A-Ah, Toor-A-Ah, Me rightful Toor-A-Ah

Rum da dum, for didl-ly-um on my Toor-A-Ah-A-Ah

Well, I've got a girl in Dublin town

I've one in Belfast too

But I never tell the Dublin girl

What the Belfast girl can do

Toor-A-Ah, Toor-A-Ah, Me rightful Toor-A-Ah

Rum da dum, for didl-ly-um on my Toor-A-Ah-A-Ah

Whiskey's fine on a winter's night

If you ask me what I think

But I like beer

For I think it's more than just a breakfast drink

Toor-A-Ah, Toor-A-Ah, Me rightful Toor-A-Ah

Rum da dum, for didl-ly-um on my Toor-A-Ah-A-Ah

So now our story's over

And our song is at an end

But if you buy us a pint of stouch,

We'll sing it all again A-Ah

Toor-A-Ah, Toor-A-Ah, Me rightful Toor-A-Ah

Rum da dum, for didl-ly-um on my Toor-A-Ah-A-Ah
