Words of wisdom from my original bagpipe instructor - "We're not fancy musicians, we're Ghetto Pipers. We're in it for the craic!"
lyrics
I am the ghetto piper
I'm loud, I'm proud, I'm drunk
my mighty drones will rock your bones
when I play Irish punk
They always cry when I play the pipes,
I must really suck.
If I can just get through this tune,
it will be some Irish luck.
The dogs all howl, the cats all growl,
I must really blow.
But I can always fake the tunes,
that they don't really know.
I am the ghetto piper
I'm loud, I'm proud, I'm drunk
my mighty drones will rock your bones
when I play Irish punk
Still they ask me to play,
they must all be nuts.
if they need their ears to bleed,
I’ll give it all my guts.
It's an honor and a privilege,
to pipe beside a grave.
Amazing Grace, about face,
Scotland the Brave.
I am the ghetto piper
I'm loud, I'm proud, I'm drunk
my mighty drones will rock your bones
when I play Irish punk
