The Reel In The Flickering Light - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

As I was walking home one evenin'[00:00:20]

I know this takes some believin'[00:00:22]

I met a group of creatures[00:00:25]

With the strangest lookin' features[00:00:27]

A poor old dove and a worm in the weed[00:00:30]

And a fine old pigeon yes indeed[00:00:33]

A daddy longlegs jumpet sprite[00:00:35]

As he danced to the reel in the flickering light[00:00:37]

Oh round we go heel to the toe[00:00:39]

And the daddy longlegs jumpet sprite[00:00:41]

As he danced to the reel in the flickering light[00:00:44]

On his thin and wispy spindles[00:00:48]

He was deft and he was nimble[00:00:50]

His eyes were scientific[00:00:52]

And his dancing was terrific[00:00:55]

And the rats and worms they made a din[00:00:58]

And the nettles in the corners took it in[00:01:00]

"Oh God" says I "Tonight's the night"[00:01:03]

"We'll dance to the reel in the flickering light"[00:01:04]

Oh round we go heel to the toe[00:01:07]

"Oh God" says I "tonight's the night[00:01:09]

We'll dance to the reel in the flickering light"[00:01:11]

Then he looked at me directly[00:01:15]

With a gaze that could dissect me[00:01:18]

Then he asked me in a whisper[00:01:20]

"Have you got any sisters "[00:01:22]

"Oh God almighty" says I to him[00:01:26]

"What sort of a man d'you think I am [00:01:28]

I've only one she's not your type[00:01:30]

She wouldn't dance the reel in the flickering light"[00:01:32]

So round we go heel to the toe[00:01:34]

"I've only one she's not your type[00:01:37]

She wouldn't dance a reel in the flickering light"[00:01:39]

Says he:[00:01:43]

"Does she come from another planet [00:01:44]

Does she got a bee in her bonnet [00:01:46]

Does she do her daily duties[00:01:49]

You never know we might be suited"[00:01:51]

And the rats and the worms began in to laugh[00:01:54]

And some of them started shufflin' off[00:01:56]

We're goin' to have some fun tonight[00:01:58]

Getting ready for the reel in the flickering light[00:02:00]

Oh round we go heel to the toe[00:02:03]

We're goin' to have some fun tonight[00:02:05]

Getting ready for the reel in the flickering light[00:02:07]

I could see he had no scruples[00:02:10]

When I looked into his pupils[00:02:12]

They were purple or magenta[00:02:15]

Like a statue during lent[00:02:16]

I said "I'll get her right away"[00:02:21]

"Good man" says he "now don't delay"[00:02:23]

We're going to have some fun tonight[00:02:25]

And he flicked his legs in the flickering light [00:02:27]

Oh round we go heel to the toe[00:02:30]

We're goin' to have some fun tonight[00:02:32]

And he flicked his legs in the flickering light [00:02:34]

Then up stepped a red carnation[00:02:38]

And they gave her an ovation[00:02:40]

She was warm and enchatin'[00:02:43]

As she slowly started dancin'[00:02:45]

And the wise old pigeon peeled his eye [00:02:48]

And the nettles and the weeds began to sigh [00:02:51]

Daddy longlegs said "my-oh-my[00:02:53]

Are we ready for the reel in the flickering light "[00:02:55]

Oh round we go heel to the toe[00:02:57]

Daddy longlegs said "my-oh-my[00:03:00]

Are we ready for the reel in the flickering light "[00:03:03]

She was gentle she was charmin'[00:03:07]

And I heard him call her "darlin'[00:03:09]

He was graceful as a whisper[00:03:11]

On his delicate legs of silver[00:03:13]

And the rats and worms were still as mice[00:03:17]

And the poor old pigeon said "That's nice"[00:03:19]

As shimmering there ah the lovely bride[00:03:22]

As they danced to the reel in the flickering light[00:03:25]

Oh round we go heel to the toe[00:03:27]

As shimmering there ah the lovely bride[00:03:30]

As they danced to the reel in the flickering light[00:03:31]

Oh round we go heel to the toe[00:03:34]

As shimmering there ah the lovely bride[00:03:36]

As they danced to the reel in the flickering light[00:03:39]
