Bagpipe Punk Rock

lyrics

Stand me in the corner when I'm dead,
Put a pint o' Guinness on me head.
Strike up the pipers, and bang on the drums,
It's my Own Irish Wake with all of you bums.

(Give me a shot of whiskey)
(Give me a fine cigar)
(Give me a final kiss)
(Sing me a Song )
(Give the stiff a stiffy)
(Give me a pint of Guinness) fer fuck's sake,
It’s my final hooley, my own Irish Wake.


The band will play Irish punk,
My friends will jig and get drunk.
I've piped a thousand funerals,
now my work is done,
There’s no Amazing Grace,
this wake is just for fun.
