(F)lannigan's Ball (Original Version) - Dropkick Murphys[00:00:01]
In the town of Milton one Brian Flannigan[00:00:10]
Battered away till his money was spent[00:00:13]
Then he hit a big one and felt like a man again[00:00:15]
Bought a three decker with two floors for rent[00:00:17]
He threw a big party for friends and relations[00:00:22]
At a grand old place called Florian Hall[00:00:24]
And if you'll just listen I'll make your eyes glisten[00:00:26]
To the rows and the ructions of Flannigan's ball[00:00:29]
Six long months I spent in Quincy [00:00:32]
Six long months doing nothing at all[00:00:34]
Six long months I spent in Quincy[00:00:36]
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball[00:00:39]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:00:41]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:00:44]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:00:46]
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball[00:00:48]
Free beer on tap and wine for the ladies[00:00:56]
Ziti and sauce for Mark Porzio[00:00:58]
There were Faheys and Bradys Mcauliffes and Daleys[00:01:00]
Courtin' the girls and dancing away [00:01:03]
Brian Tully sang out in his finest form[00:01:07]
The patron's responded and I lead em all[00:01:10]
I'd spent 6 months at Forbes academy[00:01:13]
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball[00:01:15]
Six long months I spent in Quincy [00:01:18]
Six long months doing nothing at all[00:01:20]
Six long months I spent in Quincy[00:01:22]
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball[00:01:25]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:01:28]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:01:30]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:01:32]
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball[00:01:35]
The boys were hammered[00:01:42]
The girls were hearty[00:01:43]
Dancing around in couples and groups[00:01:44]
An accident happened to young Dennis Flemming[00:01:47]
Put his right leg through Miss Finneran's hoops[00:01:49]
This gal she fainted and cried bloody murder[00:01:54]
Called for her sons and gathered them all[00:01:56]
Christopher swore[00:01:59]
He'd go no further[00:02:00]
Till he had revenge at Flannigan's ball[00:02:01]
Six long months I spent in Quincy [00:02:04]
Six long months doing nothing at all [00:02:06]
Six long months I spent in Quincy[00:02:08]
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball[00:02:11]
I stepped out and I stepped in again [00:02:14]
I stepped out and I stepped in again [00:02:16]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:02:18]
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball [00:02:21]
In the midst of the melee Miss Collins fainted[00:02:28]
Her cheeks by now were as red as a rose[00:02:30]
Some of the boys declared she was plastered[00:02:33]
Had a small drop to much I suppose[00:02:35]
Young Scotty Jenkins so big and able[00:02:38]
Saw his fair Colleen stretched by the wall[00:02:40]
Tore the left leg from under the table[00:02:42]
And smashed all the dishes at Flannigan's ball[00:02:44]
Boy oh boy now this was a rumble[00:02:57]
Myself took a lick from mean Ricky Green[00:02:59]
But I soon replied to that fine introduction[00:03:02]
And gave him a terrible kick in the spleen[00:03:04]
Talent the Piper nearly got strangled[00:03:06]
They squeezed on his bellows chanters and all [00:03:09]
The girls in the middle nearly got trampled[00:03:11]
And that put an end to Flannigan's ball[00:03:14]
Six long months I spent in Quincy [00:03:16]
Six long months doing nothing at all [00:03:18]
Six long months I spent in Quincy[00:03:21]
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball[00:03:23]
I stepped out and I stepped in again [00:03:26]
I stepped out and I stepped in again [00:03:28]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:03:30]
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball[00:03:33]
