Well I had a drink with a friend of mine
A week ago today
We were celebrating a month and a half
Too late St. Patty's Day
Well I bought him a round and he bought me a round
And the bouncer bought us another
What's an Irish boy from a good family
Doing in the gutter?
Well we looked at each other and had to laugh
Cuz we laid there in our stink
Well I would have cried if i would had thought
But every time I thought I'd drink
And if his poor old greyed ma’d seen us there
She would have shuddered
What's an Irish boy from a good family
Doing in the gutter?
Well my Irish friend he liked to surf
But me I couldn’t swim
And he said that he could teach me how
And I swore I trusted him
He swore he’d never let me drown
He loved me like a brother
What's an Irish boy from a good family
Doing in the gutter?
Well sure enough I drowned
And I wound up at the pearly gates
Where St. Peter said
You’re drunk as hell and son you should’ve ate
So he sent me back down to get a bite
But instead a bought another
What's an Irish boy from a good family
Doing in the gutter? (3x)
