Sláinte
 

CHORUS

 

Sláinte, why don't ya,

come on and drink with me

We'll hoist a glass to heroes past

and others yet to be

We'll drink until we should be done

and then we'll have another one

Sláinte, why don't ya

come on and drink with me

 

Come on and rest your weary bones,

sit down here for a while

And maybe share a pint or two

and talk about our trials

The tales will all get taller,

as every drink goes by

And everyone's convinced

that they can tell a bigger lie

 

CHORUS

 

The pub will fill with music,

and we will lead the way

We'll shout on all the rebel songs

and toast to better days

We'll tie you to a barstool

if you're too drunk to stand

We'll take the ropes away

if you're the singer in the band

 

CHORUS

 

We'll flirt with all the women folk

and buy them lots of rounds

They're sure to be impressed

that none of us have fallen down

What they see as a stagger,

is really just a sway

And we will all pretend

we're not in drunken disarray

 

CHORUS

 

The barman's lost his humor,

no longer wears a grin

He's not the friendly lad he was

when we came strollin' in

He's ransoming the porter,

he's holding back the gin

It happened 'bout the time

that all of us ran out of tin
