SEVEN DRUNKEN NIGHTS
(traditional Irish folk song)
.....as a skunk!

As I went home on Monday night, as drunk as drunk could be.
I saw a dog outside the door, where DIGGER ought to be.
I called my wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me,
who owns that dog outside the door, where DIGGER ought to be?
Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk
you silly old fool, and still you cannot see.
That's a lovely Irish Wolfhound that my mother sent to me.
Well, it's many a day I've travelled, a hundred miles or more,
but a brandy keg round a Wolfhound's neck, I never saw before.

As I went home on Tuesday night, as drunk as drunk could be.
I saw a shirt behind the door, where my OIRISH shirt should be.
I called my wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me,
who owns that shirt behind the door, where my OIRISH shirt should be?
Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk
you silly old fool, and still you cannot see.
That's a LONDON IRISH rugby shirt that mother sent to me.
Well, it's many a day I've travelled, a hundred miles or more,
but a shirt in BLACK & GREEN & GOLD, I never saw before.

As I went home on Wednesday night,as drunk as drunk could be.
I saw a pint of TETLEYS, where my GUINNESS ought to be.
I called my wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me,
who owns the TETLEYS on the chair where my GUINNESS ought to be.
Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk
you silly old fool, and still you cannot see.
That's just a vase for flowers, that my mother sent to me.
Well, it's many a day I've travelled, a hundred miles or more,
but BITTER in a flower vase, I never saw before.

As I came home on Thursday night, as drunk as drunk could be.
I saw a t-shirt on the bed, where my t-shirt should be.
I called my wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me,
who owns the t-shirt on the bed where my t-shirt should be.
Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk
you silly old fool, and still you cannot see.
It's a LONDON IRISH JETSCO SHIRT my mother sent to me.
Well, it's many a day I've travelled, a hundred miles or more,
but a "BEEN THERE - WON THAT" t-shirt, I never saw before.

As I came home on Friday night, as drunk as drunk could be.
I saw a head upon the bed, where my old head should be.
I called my wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me,
who owns that head upon the bed, where my old head should be.
Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk
you silly old fool, and still you cannot see.
That's just a lovely baby boy, that mother sent to me.
Well, it's many a day I've travelled, a hundred miles or more,
but a baby boy in a Jimmies hat, I never saw before.

As I came home on a Saturday night, as drunk as drunk could be
I put a cup up on the shelf, where the POWERGEN should be.
I called to my wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me,
What is that cup up on the shelf,where the POWERGEN should be?
Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk,
you silly old fool, and still you cannot see
That is the cup for RUNNERS UP the Union gave to me.
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more,
but to lose the cup to those bloody Saints and still me heads so sore.


I stayed at home on Sunday night, as drunk as drunk could be
I couldn't face the human race - I found a note for me
"I've gone up to Northampton with a Saintly Jimmies fan
I've put up with you for far too long but now I've found a man.
So get drunk, get drunk
you silly old fool 'cos me you'll never see
Sure I've run off with an English toff, a Powergen winner he."
So still I'll have to travel though I swear no more I'll sup
I'll never touch another drop - UNTIL WE WIN A CUP.
