(intro)
Into town on the Saturday night,
All the boys go on a spree,
If you come down to the disco,
You can have a drink with me!
With the ladies on the dance floor,
Im a wild and crazy guy,
In me white socks and me black suede shoes,
and me thin red leather tie!
(Refrain)
Then its off to mass next morning,
Im wearin me Sunday best,
Ive got no wife to fight with,
So Ive no sins to confess!
After church, the married men
go home, oh what a shame!
Cause Im scullin da pints down at the pub
While watchin the football game!
