In the town of Milton one
|
Brian Flannigan battered away till his money was spent
|
Then he hit a big one and felt like a man again,
|
Bought a three decker with two floors for rent
|
|
He threw a big party for friends
|
And relations at a grand old place called Florian Hall
|
And if you'll just listen I'll make your eyes glisten
|
To the rows and the ructions of Flannigan's ball.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Six long months I spent in quincy,
|
Six long months doing nothing at all,
|
Six long months I spent in quincy
|
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
|
I stepped out and I stepped in again,
|
I stepped out and I stepped in again,
|
I stepped out and I stepped in again
|
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball.
|
|
Free beer on tap and wine for the ladies,
|
Ziti and sauce for mark porzio
|
There were faheys and bradys,
|
Mcauliffes and daleys courtin the girls and dancing away.
|
|
Brian tully sang out in his finest form,
|
The patron's responded and I lead em all
|
I'd spent 6 months at Forbes Academy
|
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
The boys were hammered the girls were hearty
|
Dancing around in couples and groups
|
An accident happened young Dennis Flemming
|
Put his right leg through miss Finneran's hoops
|
|
This gal she fainted and cried bloody murder,
|
Called for her sons and gathered them all,
|
Christopher swore he'd go no further
|
Till he had revenge at Flannigan's ball
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
In the midst of the melee
|
Miss Collins fainted her cheeks by now were as red as a rose
|
Some of the boys declared she was plastered
|
Had a small drop, too much I suppose
|
|
Young Scotty Jenkins so big and able
|
Saw his fair colleen stretched by the wall
|
Tore the left leg from under the table
|
And smashed all the dishes at Flannigan's ball
|
|
Boy oh boy now this was a rumble myself
|
Took a lick from mean Ricky Green
|
But I soon replied to that fine introduction
|
And gave him a terrible kick in the spleen
|
|
Talent the piper nearly got strangled,
|
They squeezed on his bellows, chanters and all,
|
The girls in the middle nearly got trampled
|
And that put an end to Flannigan's ball
|
|
[Chorus]
|
