Sir Reg – Arrive On St. Patrick's Day lyrics

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 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

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
