《Lannigan’s Ball》歌词

[00:00:00] Lannigan's Ball - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:16] In the town of Athy one Jeremy Lanigan

[00:00:18] Battered away 'til he hadn't a pound.

[00:00:19] His father he died and made him a man again

[00:00:21] Left him a farm and ten acres of ground.

[00:00:23] He threw a grand party to friends and relations

[00:00:25] Who didn't desert him when it comes to the will,

[00:00:26] And if you'll but listen I'll make your eyes glisten

[00:00:28] And spin you a tale of Lanigan's Ball

[00:00:32] Myself to be sure got free invitation,

[00:00:34] For all the nice girls and boys I might ask,

[00:00:35] And just in a minute both friends and relations

[00:00:37] Were dancing as merry as bees 'round a cask.

[00:00:39] There were lashings of punch and wine for the ladies,

[00:00:41] Potatoes and cakes; there was bacon and tea,

[00:00:43] There were the Nolans, Dolans, O'Gradys

[00:00:44] Courting the girls and dancing away

[00:00:46] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:00:48] Six whole months doing nothing at all

[00:00:50] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:00:52] Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball

[00:01:01] They were doing all kinds of nonsensical polkas

[00:01:02] Around the room in a whirligig

[00:01:04] But Julia and I, we banished their nonsense

[00:01:06] And gave them a taste of a real Irish jig.

[00:01:08] Oh, how the girls got all mad at me

[00:01:10] Danced 'til we thought that the ceiling would fall.

[00:01:11] For I spent three weeks at Brooks' Academy

[00:01:13] Learning new steps for Lanigan's Ball.

[00:01:15] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:01:17] Six whole months doing nothing at all

[00:01:18] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:01:20] Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball

[00:01:22] Nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas

[00:01:25] Nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas

[00:01:27] Learning to dance to Lanigan's ball

[00:01:29] Nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas

[00:01:32] Nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas

[00:01:34] Learning to dance to Lanigan's ball

[00:01:44] The boys were hammered the girls were hearty

[00:01:45] Dancing around in couples and groups

[00:01:47] An accident happened with young Dennis Flemming

[00:01:49] Put his right leg through miss Finneran's hoops

[00:01:51] This gal she fainted and cried bloody murder,

[00:01:53] Called for her sons and gathered them all,

[00:01:54] Christopher swore he'd go no further

[00:01:56] Till he had revenge at Flannigan's ball

[00:01:58] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:02:00] Six whole months doing nothing at all

[00:02:01] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:02:03] Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball

[00:02:05] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:02:07] Six whole months doing nothing at all

[00:02:09] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:02:10] Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball

[00:02:27] Boy oh boy now this was a rumble myself

[00:02:28] Took a lick from mean Richard Green

[00:02:30] But I soon replied to that fine introduction

[00:02:32] And gave him a terrible kick in the spleen

[00:02:34] Talent the piper nearly got strangled,

[00:02:35] They squeezed on his bellows, chanters and all,

[00:02:37] The girls in the middle nearly got trampled

[00:02:39] And that put an end to Flannigan's ball

[00:02:41] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:02:43] Six whole months doing nothing at all

[00:02:44] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:02:46] Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball

[00:02:48] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:02:50] Six whole months doing nothing at all

[00:02:51] Six whole months I spent in Dublin,

[00:02:53] Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball

[00:02:55] Nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas

[00:02:58] Nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas

[00:03:01] Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball

[00:03:02] Nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas

[00:03:05] Nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas nonsensical polkas

[00:03:08] Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball
