Testo (F)lannigan's Ball - Dropkick Murphys
Testo della canzone (F)lannigan's Ball (Dropkick Murphys), tratta dall'album Live On Lansdowne, Boston MA (Deluxe Version)
In the town of Milton, one Brian Flannigan
Battered away 'til 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
In a grand old place called Florian Hall
And if you just listen, I'll make your eyes glisten
To the rouse and the ructions of Flannigan's ball
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
There was ziti and sauce for Mark Porzio
There were Faheys, Bradys, Mcauliffes and Daleys
Courting 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 six months at Forbes Academy
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
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
The boys were hammered, and 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 to gather them all
Christopher swore he'd go no further
'Til he had revenge at Flannigan's ball
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
In the midst of the melee, Miss Collins painted
Her cheeks by now were as red as a rose
Some of the boys agreed she was plastered
Had a few drops 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 is a rumble
Myself took a lick from mean Richard Green
But I soon replied to that fine introduction
And gave him a terrible kick to 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
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
