The Donnybrook Affair Lyrics

A row, a ruction, a fracas and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 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 and they aim to take it away I swear.

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
The council's always up in arms to try and take it away, hey!
