Another Mug O'Beer
From time to time I like creating upbeat, fast paced, Irish folk type songs
(Lyrics are below)
Listen On Spotify
Boot through the door and the sawdust flies,
Coins hit wood and the barman sighs,
Foam at the rim and I don’t waste time,
Tilt it back — that mug is mine!
Old Mick swore he’d quit last year,
Now he’s preachin’ wisdom with a frothy beard,
Says “Just one!” with a noble sneer —
Five mugs deep shoutin’ “Another mug o’ beer!”
Another mug o’ beer!
Bring it over here!
Another mug o’ beer!
We ain’t leavin’ here!
Raise it loud so all can hear —
Another mug o’ beer!
Nora from Cork in a crimson dress,
Dancin’ wild in a beautiful mess,
Spilled hers twice but she won’t shed a tear,
Just snaps her fingers — “Another mug o’ beer!”
Tommy the Brag with his tall fish tales,
Claims he outran twenty British sails,
For every lie we give a cheer —
He buys the round — “Another mug o’ beer!”
Another mug o’ beer!
Fill it to the ear!
Another mug o’ beer!
No surrender here!
If it’s dry we persevere —
Another mug o’ beer!
Quiet Sean in the corner seat,
Soft as rain but quick on his feet,
Says not a word all night I hear,
Till he slams the bar — “Another mug o’ beer!”
Young lads courtin’ bold and proud,
Tryin’ to kiss through a screamin’ crowd,
She downs hers first, he looks severe —
She winks and says, “Another mug o’ beer!”
Fiddle shrieks and the pipes all roar,
Bootheels thunder on every floor,
If there’s a drop left anywhere near —
We’re stormin’ the taps for another mug o’ beer!
Another mug o’ beer!
Lift it high, no fear!
Another mug o’ beer!
Let the rafters hear!
Till the break o’ day appears —
Another mug o’ beer!
Another mug o’ beer!
ANOTHER MUG O’ BEER!
