The Donnybrook Affair

A row, a ruction, a fracas, an a fray
 A rough-n-tumble free-for-all
 A broil, a brawl, a melee
 A ruckus to be reckoned with
 And now without delay
 We're takin' the road to the Dodder on down
 To march in the last parade
 A row, a ruction, a fracas, an a fray
 A rough-n-tumble free-for-all
 A broil, a brawl, a melee
 A ruckus to be reckoned with
 If anyone wants to dare
 We're takin' the road to the Dodder on down
 For the Donnybrook affair
 I will go! I will meet you there
 I will spend a week or two with you
 At Donnybrook Fair
 I will go! I will meet you there
 But the council's up in arms
 They aim to take it away I swear
 The council's up in arms
 They aim to take it away I swear
 A license for leisure, What-e'er be the pleasure
 The council's always up in arms
 To try and take it away, hey!
 Play the harp and play the fiddle
 Play the whistle too
 Bang the drum and use the lungs
 To get the message through
 But ya fight ya might get tar-n-feathered
 So bow and say a prayer
 To the commission for the abolition
 Of the Donnybrook Fair
 A row, a ruction, a fracas, an a fray
 A rough-n-tumble free-for-all
 A broil, a brawl, a melee
 A ruckus to be reckoned with
 If anyone wants to dare
 We're takin' the road to the Dodder on down
 For the Donnybrook affair
 I will go! I will meet you there
 I will spend a week or two with you
 At Donnybrook Fair
 I will go! I will meet you there
 But the council's up in arms
 They aim to take it away I swear
 The council's up in arms
 They aim to take it away I swear
 A license for leisure, what-e'er be the pleasure
 The council's always up in arms
 To try and take it away, hey!
 A row, a ruction, a fracas, an a fray
 A rough-n-tumble free-for-all
 A broil, a brawl, a melee
 A ruckus to be reckoned with
 And now without delay
 We're takin' the road to the Dodder on down
 To march in the last parade
 A row, a ruction, a fracas, an a fray
 A rough-n-tumble free-for-all
