Shake the dust from your eyes and wake up from your sadness Lock it up and throw away the key Leave the long years behind and wake up from your madness Give it up, we're shipping out today
Now the captain roars when we drop our oars and we're living in a puddle of decay But now we have no fear for the dock is near and we long for Dublin bay (hey!)
Cheers to you and the rest of the world Ah, we're dying to see yiz again Cheers to you, we're the best of the worst We'll arrive on St. Patrick's day
Breaks the day like a fire now I'm crippled with gladness I lap it up and cry away away the glee Left the others behind and forgot about the badness Gave it up, but shaking all the same
For a man is wise when he knows his vice When he’s livin’ in in a muddle of dismay Yeah we have no fear for the end is near And we long for Dublin bay (hey!)
Cheers to you and the rest of the world Ah, we're dying to see yiz again Cheers to you, we're the best of the worst We'll arrive on St. Patrick's day
Take a look at the lies and remember the faces, covered up and bow their heads in shame There’s a life left to live now we’ll take all our chances I’m coming home and burying the blame
Now the captain roars when we drop our oars and we're living in a puddle of dismay But now we have no fear for the dock is near and we long for Dublin bay
