'Twas in the year of '22 A winter mild and skies of blue Putin thought he'd holiday Near Baltimore or Bantry Bay"Sure while we're there" he told the boys"We'll do a naval exercise" One problem he did not foresee Was proud Corkmen who love the sea Listen lads, out ye go Come back next week with fish in tow Don't mind their guff and empty show We'll let those bloody Russians know! I've fished these waters heretofore Like my father and his before From Moscow to West Cork They will not bother us no more The Russians said"full steam ahead""These waters are fair game" they said The fishermen did not agree"We'll stage a protest out at sea" The Russians said 'twould not be wise They rule with brain and brawn and size The boys from Cork were pure defiant As they faced this Russian giant Listen lads, out ye go Come back next week with fish in tow Don't mind their guff and empty show We'll let those bloody Russians know! I've fished these waters heretofore Like my father and his before From Moscow to West Cork They will not bother us no more Diplomacy had failed it seemed The minister and embassy 'Til late one night they got a call What Sergey said would shock them all"The boss, he's had a change of heart We'll keep our boats and yours apart" No thanks to suits in Dublin town But fishermen who won't back down! Listen lads, out ye go Come back next week with fish in tow Don't mind their guff and empty show We'll let those bloody Russians know! I've fished these waters heretofore Like my father and his before From Moscow to West Cork They will not bother us no more No hard feelings, problem solved We'll get all your disputes resolved Relax a while, ground all your planes Just talk it out and leave Ukraine! We'll take ye out in Skibbereen Drink Murphy's Stout, eat black pudding But not today, there's work to do If you don't mind we'll bid adieu! Listen lads, out ye go Come back next week with fish in tow Don't mind their guff and empty show We'll let those bloody Russians know! I've fished these waters heretofore Like my father and his before From Moscow to West Cork They will not bother us no more So, Listen lads, out ye go Come back next week with fish in tow Don't mind their guff and empty show We'll let those bloody Russians know I've fished these waters heretofore Like my father and his before From Moscow to West Cork They will not bother us no more.
