you can have a drink with me!
with the ladies on the dance floor ,
im a wild and crazy guy ,
in me white socks and me black suede shoes ,
and me thin red leather tie!

( refrain )

then its off to mass next morning ,
im wearin me sunday best ,
ive got no wife to fight with ,
so ive no sins to confess!
after church , the married men
go home , oh what a shame!
cause im scullin da pints down at the pub
while watchin the football game!
