CI dreamt a dream Fthe other night I couldn't sleep a wink ThGe rats were tryin' to count the sheep and I was off the drink There were CfootstepsF in the parlour and voices on the stairs GI was climbin' up the walls and movin' round the chairs. I lCooked out froFm under the blanket up at the fireplace. TheG Pope and John F. Kennedy were starin' in me face. Suddenly iCt dawned at me IF was getting the old D.T.s When the CGhild o' Prague began to dance around the mantlepiece.
CHORUS
CGoodbye to Fthe Port and Brandy, to the Vodka and the Stag, ToG the SchmCiddick and the Harpic, the bottled draught and keg. As I sat lookiFn' up the Guinness ad I could never figure out HowG your man stayeCd up on the surfboard after 14 pints of stout.
Well I swore upon the bible I'd 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. Dick 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' Traveller's rights. I dreamt that Ruairi Quinn was smokin' marijuana 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 I'm not tellin' you. I dreamt I was in a jacuzzi along with Alice Glenn 'twas then I knew I'd never ever, ever drink again. CHORUS
