FAKE IRISH SONG
She smoked like a chimney and drank like a lad
She was the best lay that I ever had.
When the band broke up no body was glad
When the band broke up it was pretty sad.
When she joined the band she banged on The drum.
Hit on the bass, and sang like a chum
But when it came down to the band's true alum
The day it was sad when they forced me to run
We puffed like a factory, and drank like a fish.
The Boys and the girls thought her quite a dish...
When the band broke up no body was glad
When the band broke up it was pretty sad.
When she joined the band she banged on The drum.
Hit on the bass, and sang like a chum
But when it came down to the band's true alum
The day it was sad when they forced me to run.
She gave me her body, and part of her soul.
We could nt make heads or tails of it all.
Sometimes when she spoke it was kind of sad
And Nothing I said could bring her back.
When she joined the band she banged on The drum.
Hit on the bass, and sang like a chum
But when it came down to the band's true alum
The day it was sad when they forced me to run
'Cept for the love it mighta been all wrong.
That is why I play this Fake irish song.
That is why I play this Fake irish song
