- Christy Moore
- I dreamt a dream the other night I couldnt sleep a wink
The rats were tryin to count the sheep and I was off the drink
There were footsteps in the parlour and voices on the stairs
I was climbin up the walls and movin round the chairs.
I looked out from under the blanket up at the fireplace.
The Pope and John F. Kennedy were starin in me face.*
Suddenly it dawned at me I was getting the old D.T.s
When the Child o Prague began to dance around the mantlepiece.
CHORUS
Goodbye to the Port and Brandy, to the Vodka and the Stag,
To the ***** ***** and the Harpic, the bottled draught and keg.
As I sat lookin up the Guinness ad I could never figure out
How your man stayed up on the surfboard after 14 pints of stout.
Well I swore upon the bible Id never touch a drop.
My heart was palpitatin I was sure twas going to stop,
Thinkin I was dyin I gave my soul to God to keep.
A tenner to St. Anthony to help me get some sleep.
I fell into an awful nightmare - got a dreadful shock.
When I dreamt there was no Duty-free at the airport down in Knock.
George Seawright was sayin the rosary and SPUC were on the pill.**
Frank Patterson was gargled and he singin Spancil Hill.
CHORUS
I dreamt that Mr. Haughey had recaptured Crossmaglen
Then Garret got re-elected and gave it back again.
**** Spring and Roger Casement were on board the Marita-Ann
As she sailed into Fenit they were singin Banna Strand.
I dreamt Archbishop McNamara was on Spike Island for 3 nights
Havin been arrested for supportin Travellers rights.
I dreamt that Ruairi Quinn was smokin ********* in the Dail
Barry Desmond handin Frenchies out to scuts in Fianna Fail.
CHORUS
I dreamt of Nell McCafferty and Mary Kenny too
The things that we got up to, but Im not tellin you.
I dreamt I was in a jacuzzi along with Alice Glenn
twas then I knew Id never ever, ever drink again.
CHORUS
