Lyrics

#VERSE Up from the west road, the boys are all comin' down Back from the quest holdin' riches al by the pound Eyein' the tavern on the corner it's lookin' 'bout time But up chimes the doorman, "now don't yis' be comin' round" "Drunk and disordered" and barred from the pubs in town But I spy the side door and the key on the bouncer's side #PRE-CHORUS And it's one sleight of the hand A flick of the wrist A slip of the tongue A gamble to risk A drink in the dark A girl not to miss A wink at bar A stranger to kiss Are yis' in for the haul? 'Cause it's a long aul' night ahead #CHORUS And it's one turns into two Turns into five, turns into nine Then it's twelve, turns into more The taps are gone dry, it's onto the wine And it's one too many again Drink up the room is startin' to spin And the bard is throwin' his guts up Let's drink 'til we're thrown out again #VERSE The drinks are all flowin' in, the lasses are lookin' well The barman remembers us and so does the clientele And I now recall we made quite the impression last time Then up walks some tiefling, and doesn't she look the part And says she's no thief but she thinks she could steal me heart Her man charges over, it looks like I'm crossin' a line #PRE-CHORUS And it's one sleight of the hand A flick of the wrist A slip of the tongue A gamble to risk A drink in the dark A girl not to miss She's here with yer man He's makin' a fist Are yis' in for the haul? 'Cause it's a long aul' night ahead #CHORUS And it's one turns into two Turns into five, turns into nine Then it's twelve, turns into more The bottles are gone, and so is the wine It's one too many again Drink up as the room is startin' to spin And the party's surely a mess So boyo's let's drink 'til we're thrown out again #BRIDGE The size is against me, yer wan's man is towerin' But I have the an ace here, 8 lads and a paladin The mage sets him alight and then the rogue takes out his leg Before you know, we have to leave, pick a new bar and try it again #PRE-CHORUS It's one sleight of the hand A flick of the wrist A slip of the tongue A gamble to risk A drink in the dark A girl not to miss She couldn't be arsed She knows that you're pissed Are yis' in for the haul? It's been a long aul' night ahead #CHORUS And it's one turns into two Turns into five, turns into nine Then it's twelve, turns into more The bard is asleep or maybe he's died And it's far too many again Drink up the room is startin' to spin Sure is was some craic in the end Drink up, 'cause I think that we've been barred again
