《Continental Ceili》歌词

[00:00:01] Over in McCann's there's a grand type of danceband

[00:00:04] A-playing and they're spinnin' out the Continental Ceili

[00:00:07] They're comin' in their cars from the bars over in Leitir and Killane just to hear the famous Gunther Reynolds playing

[00:00:13] Out the Star of Munster with Hans O'Donoghue

[00:00:15] Neatly tappin' out a tango on the spoons

[00:00:18] Such commotion will act like a lotion on the struttin'

[00:00:20] At the Continental Ceili tonight

[00:00:24] Wolfgang's playing on the comb someone shouts at him go home

[00:00:27] Klaus is playin' a slow air on the bodhrán

[00:00:30] Quinn from Corofin his fiddle tucked beneath his chin

[00:00:32] Ssh He's going to play the Bucks of Oranmore now

[00:00:35] And an old-fashioned lady begins to sing a song

[00:00:37] Ah Lads a bit of order over there

[00:00:40] Clarinbridge for the chowder keep your powder dry

[00:00:42] For the Continental Ceili tonight

[00:00:46] Ciar an closing his eyes pretends he's in disguise

[00:00:49] When he sees and old flame comin' over

[00:00:52] He's singing for the Swedes in their tweeds doin all he can to please the night's at such a delicate stage

[00:00:57] Later on he'll give an audience to one of them or two

[00:01:00] He'll sing the the Dyin' Swan to touch their feelings

[00:01:03] Tonight's his night and tomorrow night will be just the same

[00:01:07] Ada let me out to the bar where the boys are goin' far

[00:01:10] And they're spinnin' out the Continental Ceili

[00:01:13] Never mind the liquor the music's in my soul

[00:01:15] So long as I can hear the band a-playin'

[00:01:18] The pipes and the flutes and the fiddles are in tune

[00:01:21] Whoo I'd love to meet a European girl

[00:01:23] Ada now me head is goin' light and the band is playin' tight

[00:01:26] At the Continental Ceili tonight

[00:01:29] All the publicans are there 'tis like a hirin' fair

[00:01:32] Tryin' to figure out how much McCann is makin'

[00:01:35] To keep their pubs outta Stubbs they're lashin' out big subs

[00:01:38] In a burst of fierce anticipation

[00:01:41] Moguls from Muckhill are starin' at the till

[00:01:44] Tryin' to get the lowdown on the line-up

[00:01:47] They'll be buyin' free porter for the members of the band
