from CRAIC AGUS CEOL, released March 9, 2019
I’m down at the pub,
With all of my girls,
There’s so many hounds,
Swine before pearls.

They’re good for a laugh
And to buy us a round,
But within these four walls
True love won’t be found.

You praise my eyes,
But stare at my ass,
I already know
I’m a fine Irish lass

You feed me lines,
We’ve all heard before,
You think you’re so clever,
But you’re just a bore

So buy me a drink,
Ask me to dance,
Play your cards right,
You might have a chance.

I really need someone
Who’s probably not you,
you’re the pick of this litter
tonight you may do

You may have a seat
Keep your hands to yourself
Tell me how much you bench
And about all your wealth

So buy me a pint
and buy me a shot
Don’t tell me you love me
But tell me I’m hot

I really do care
You’re an ex football star
Talk of your exploits
Will take you so far

But when you lean in
Try to give me a kiss
Your breath stinks of whiskey
Enough of this

So just one more drink,
And no I won’t dance,
Didn’t play your cards right,
You blew your last chance.

I really need someone
Who’s definitely not you,
you’re the runt of this litter
And you’ll never do

Your dime store cologne
Makes you smell like a whore
You’ve been talking for hours
You’re such a damn bore

As I get up to leave,
You beg “baby please”
I’ll slap your face silly
If you call me a tease
