Over in McCann's there's a grand type of danceband A-playing and they're spinnin' out the Continental Céilí They're comin' in their cars from the bars over in Leitir and Killane Just to hear the famous Gunther Reynolds playing Out the Star of Munster with Hans O'Donoghue Neatly tappin' out a tango on the spoons Such commotion will act like a lotion on the struttin' At the Continental Céilí tonight
Wolfgang's playing on the comb, someone shouts at him go home Klaus is playin' a slow air on the bodhrán Quinn from Corofin his fiddle tucked beneath his chin Ssh! He's going to play the Bucks of Oranmore now And an old-fashioned lady begins to sing a song Ah! Lads a bit of order over there Clarinbridge for the chowder, keep your powder dry For the Continental Céilí tonight
Ciarán closing his eyes pretends he's in disguise When he sees and old flame comin' over He's singing for the Swedes in their tweeds doin' all he can to please The night's at such a delicate stage Later on he'll give an audience to one of them or two He'll sing the the Dyin' Swan to touch their feelings Tonight's his night and tomorrow night will be just the same
Ada let me out to the bar where the boys are goin' far And they're spinnin' out the Continental Céilí Never mind the liquor, the music's in my soul So long as I can hear the band a-playin' The pipes and the flutes and the fiddles are in tune Whoo! I'd love to meet a European girl Ada now me head is goin' light and the band is playin' tight At the Continental Céilí tonight
All the publicans are there, 'tis like a hirin' fair Tryin' to figure out how much McCann is makin' To keep their pubs outta Stubbs they're lashin' out big subs In a burst of fierce anticipation Moguls from Muckhill are starin' at the till Tryin' to get the lowdown on the line-up They'll be buyin' free porter for the members of the band At the Continental Céilí tonight At the Continental Céilí tonight. At the Continental Céilí tonight.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
