She stood beside my narrow bed to check my E.K.G.
She shook her pretty little head at what's become of me
I thought I glimpsed a path that led through rhododendron days
And fuchsia nights to the boatshed in which we two once lay
But she gazed only at my chart
The valleys and the peaks
Brought back the time she broke my heart
In MacGillycuddy's Reeks
But she gazed only at my chart
The valleys and the peaks
Brought back the time she broke my heart
In MacGillycuddy's Reeks
I saw her on Killarney's shore one morning in July
When I still thought I was a thorn trying to find a side
I met her in the little launch that runs to Innisfallen
Hunched together, haunch to haunch, trying to keep my balance
But she upset my applecart
She kissed me on the cheek
And I was struck by Cupid's dart
In MacGillycuddy's Reeks
MacGillycuddy's Reeks
MacGillycuddy's Reeks
Where I was struck by Cupid's dart
In MacGillycuddy's Reeks
She was a systems analyst for a dot com company
She said, "You think because we've kissed I'll be yours eternally
I'll sign another pre-nup and we'll merge our P.L.C.s"
That's why most girls go belly-up in this economy
So when it comes to a jump start
Your forecast's pretty bleak
The NASDAQ goes by dips and starts
Like MacGillycuddy's Reeks
MacGillycuddy's Reeks, boy
MacGillycuddy's Reeks
The NASDAQ goes by dips and starts
Like MacGillycuddy's Reeks
She looked only at my chart
The valleys and the peaks
Brought back the time she broke my heart
In MacGillycuddy's Reeks
MacGillycuddy's Reeks
MacGillycuddy's Reeks
That was the time she broke my heart
In MacGillycuddy's Reeks
